Sun Darkens Electronics
Solar activity can wreak
havoc in communications
systems -- particularly
during coronal mass
ejections, when plumes of
electrically charged
particles hit earth's

Fog Cleans Air Pollution
While it hassles commuters,
morning mist removes a lot
of airborne particles which
are hazardous for people
with respiratory health
problems. The water droplets
inside morning fog are of

Preparing For A Walk On The Moon
Astrophysicists found that
the moon's surface becomes
electrified during each full
moon. The moon passes
through the Earth's
magnetotail, a cone of
highly-charged particles,

Flying and Radiation Risk
At the high altitudes and
latitudes commercial
airlines fly, crews are
subjected to
higher-than-normal radiation
levels from the sun and
cosmic rays. Physicist

Atmospheric Scientists Link Lightning to Ice Particles In Clouds
Satellite imaging is now helping atmospheric scientists link the amount of charged ice in clouds to lightning activity. Ice particles in thunderstorms can help increase precipitation, the scientists ... > more -
Geophysicists Blame La Nina Weather For Lost Time
Geophysicists have identified the very real physical mechanism that can lengthen or shorten the amount of time the earth takes to complete one rotation. During La Nina the temperature of the Pacific ... > more -
Atmospheric Scientists' Model Predicts Hurricane Threat Months In Advance
Meteorologists can make long range predictions about hurricane activity months in advance using what they call the Atlantic Meridional Mode. It is the relationship between sea surface temperature, ... > more -
Atmospheric Scientists Monitor Global Carbon
With the annual, steady increase of global warming and carbon discharge, atmospheric chemists are gathering air samples on behalf of the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Air ... > more -
Atmospheric Scientists And Engineers Demonstrate Amount Of Pollution In U.S. Originating Overseas
Environmental scientists and engineers developed mathematical models to calculate the impact of pollution from Europe and Asia on areas in the United States. They found that almost twelve percent of ... > more -
Atmospheric Scientists Map Pollution Decrease
Spectroscopic images from remote-sensing satellites of the Ohio River Valley over 10 years have revealed a decreasing concentration of nitrogen oxides and nitric acid, precursors to ... > more -
Environmental Scientists Fume About Disappearing Flower Fragrances
Biochemists have shown that air pollution inhibits the distance that flower's fragrances can travel. Scent molecules usually travel easily in the air, but pollutants break them apart, which destroys ... > more -
Mechanical And Aerospace Engineers Use Satellites To Track Ozone Levels
Engineers processed data from NASA's Aura satellite in order to track and predict the movement of airborne pollution. Using satellite data to measure ozone concentrations over time allows scientists ... > more -
Meteorologists Use Weather Knowledge to Predict Path of Toxic Spills
Homeland security officials are tapping researchers' capability to predict the paths of toxic waste spills and hazardous airborne particles. Using computer science and mathematics, along with ... > more -
Climate Change Researchers Ask Amateur Botanists To Record Signs Of Spring
Researchers began a nationwide initiative to track climate change by recording the timing of the first bud, first flower, and seed dispersal for plants across the country. They encouraged people to ... > more
