NASA's GCPEx Mission: What We Don't Know About Snow
NASA's GCPEx science team is
collecting as much data as
they can to improve
understanding of snow
dynamics inside clouds,
because they relate to how

Research Yields Better Seasonal Climate Forecasts
February 13, 2012 — Arctic sea ice is rapidly retreating. Within a few decades the North Pole could be completely ice-free in summer. How will that affect our weather? In the research project "Seasonal Predictability ... > full story -
First Plants Caused Ice Ages, New Research Reveals
February 1, 2012 — New research reveals how the arrival of the first plants 470 million years ago triggered a series of ice ages. The research reveals the effects that the first land plants had on the climate during ... > full story -
Coastal Waters Produce Halogenated Organic Molecules That Exacerbate Stratospheric Ozone Depletion
February 1, 2012 — Coastal waters of the tropical Western Pacific produce natural halogenated organic molecules involving chlorine, bromine and iodine atoms that may damage the stratospheric ozone layer. This is the ... > full story -

Earth's Energy Budget Remained out of Balance Despite Unusually Low Solar Activity, Study Finds
January 30, 2012 — A new NASA study underscores the fact that greenhouse gases generated by human activity -- not changes in solar activity -- are the primary force driving global warming. The study offers an updated ... > full story -
NASA Study Solves Case of Earth's 'Missing Energy'
January 27, 2012 — Two years ago, scientists released a study claiming that inconsistencies between satellite observations of Earth's heat and measurements of ocean heating amounted to evidence of "missing energy" in ... > full story -
Mars-Bound Instrument Detects Solar Burst's Effects: RAD Measures Radiation from Solar Storm
January 27, 2012 — The largest solar particle event since 2005 hit Earth, Mars and the Mars Science Laboratory spacecraft traveling in-between, allowing the onboard Radiation Assessment Detector to measure the ... > full story -
Injecting Sulfate Particles Into Stratosphere Won't Fully Offset Climate Change
January 25, 2012 — New research demonstrates that one suggested method of geoengineering the atmosphere to deal with climate change, injecting sulfate particles into the stratosphere, probably would have limited ... > full story -
Classifying Solar Eruptions
January 25, 2012 — Solar flares are giant explosions on the sun that send energy, light and high speed particles into space. These flares are often associated with solar magnetic storms known as coronal mass ejections ... > full story -
Space Weather Arrives: Relatively Minor Impacts Expected from Solar Storm
January 24, 2012 — A significant blast of energy from the sun arrived at Earth on Jan. 24, 2012 at 10 a.m. EST, triggering a moderate geomagnetic storm here that's unlikely to cause major problems. But skywatchers take ... > full story -
Strongest Solar Radiation Storm Since 2005
January 23, 2012 — NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center -- the nation's official source of warnings and alerts about space weather and its impacts on Earth -- has issued a watch for a geomagnetic storm associated ... > full story
