Princeton researchers discovered a way to accurately project extreme heat in the tropics under climate change by looking at the atmospheric dynamics that control the region’s “wet-bulb” temperature, a ...

The atmospheric dynamics of Jupiter and Saturn continue to intrigue planetary scientists with their complex interplay of deep-seated flows, strong zonal jets, turbulent weather systems, and ...

Ice giant planets such as Uranus and Neptune exhibit complex atmospheric dynamics that are critical to understanding planetary weather, chemistry, and long‐term climate evolution.

“Laplace showed that amidst all the complications of the atmospheric dynamics there should be a set of wave motions with energy content trapped in the vertical – i.e. trapped against the earth’s ...

From late June to mid-July of 2021, the Pacific Northwest was scorched under an unprecedented heat dome, shattering temperature records and igniting a wave of concern over climate extremes. As ...

The middle atmosphere (i.e. the atmospheric layer extending from about 10 to 100 km) is known to influence surface weather and climate, and its role in the climate system is increasingly being ...

And not only are Jupiter's atmospheric dynamics less Earth-like than scientists thought, they're also far more complex and variable.

Despite the extensive timeframe of this study, it reflects only one complete seasonal cycle for Uranus. The research team plans to continue their observations as the planet's polar regions transition ...
