Global Warming Causes Severe Storms
Research Meteorologists
found that the temperature
changes brought on by global
warming are significant
enough to cause an increase
in the occurrence of severe
storms. Severe storms are

Thunderstorms And Asthma
A multidisciplinary team
studying weather patterns
and records of emergency
room visits found a rise in
patients with asthma attacks
in the days after a
thunderstorm. They believe

Knowing Where Tornadoes Will Strike
Meteorologists recently
studied the effect of
gravity waves on tornado
formation. They found that
when gravity waves push down
on rotating thunderstorms
the storm compresses and

Computer Scientists Create New Technology For Elderly Home Owners
Computer scientists have designed technologies to help the elderly maintain their independence. One device uses optical sensors to oversee people as they pick up and use items. Another device uses ... > more -
Climatologists Forecast Completely New Climates
Geographers have projected temperature increases due to greenhouse gas emissions to reach a not-so-chilling conclusion: climate zones will shift and some climates will disappear completely by 2100. ... > more -
Environmental Engineers Use Algae To Capture Carbon Dioxide
Engineers have designed a simple, sustainable and natural carbon sequestration solution using algae. A team at Ohio University created a photo bioreactor that uses photosynthesis to grow algae, ... > more -
Climatologists, Oceanographers Track Climate-changing Ocean Pattern
Researchers are using satellites in efforts to better predict El Niño, the weather pattern responsible for supplying more moisture and energy to storms in the U.S. during the winter season. El ... > more -
Meteorologists' New Scale Will Help in Emergency Planning
Those who live in the Northeaster United States will be able to plan ahead for major storms thanks to a new ranking scale that predicts not only how many inches of snow will fall, but also how long ... > more -
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
