Look up at the sky—what do you see? During the day, it’s a vast expanse of blue with clouds drifting by. At night, it’s a ...

A new study has revealed yet another way that human-induced climate change is affecting the planet. Decades of weather balloon and satellite data has shown that the Earth’s troposphere is expanding, ...

Analysis of air samples taken at altitudes of up to 3,000 meters above Japan has revealed the presence of a vast range of viable bacteria and fungi transported by air masses originating more than ...

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — How many layers do you think there are in our atmosphere? Five! We have five different layers between us and outer space. From the surface up there is the troposphere, the ...

Researchers have measured carbon dioxide levels for the past three years in the troposphere (lower atmosphere) over a sparsely inhabited rural area near Valladolid, Spain. The results show that the ...

Microplastics found at a mountain top in the French Pyrenees may have crossed continents and oceans, travelling around 4500 kilometres in a fast-moving region of the troposphere, which is the lowest ...

Research performed in the US has helped lay to rest one of the lasting controversies surrounding climate models: whether or not the upper troposphere is warming. Climate models have long predicted ...

Abstract Stratosphere–troposphere exchange (STE) is important for the chemical composition of both the stratosphere and troposphere. Modifications of STE in a changing climate may affect stratospheric ...

THE structure of isothermal and inversion layers in the troposphere is of interest in many aspects of radiometeorology. These layers, which can often be detected by centimetric radar, are now known to ...

When you look at photographs of Earth from space, the planet looks like a blue marble, with patterns of clouds lying on the surface of the marble. It seems as if Earth's atmosphere is incredibly thin, ...

Planes may have to fly higher to avoid turbulence. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Earth's atmosphere is rising because of ...
