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 -

RFID-Based Recycling Technology Makes Philadelphia Greener
Electrical engineers have developed a system that identifies a recycling bin by its household, using Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) chips embedded in the bins. Bins are scanned and weighed ... > more -
Meteorologist Will Take Lead in Issuing Closely Watched Forecasts
Bill Gray, the lead author of closely-watched seasonal hurricane forecasts, is passing the torch to his collaborator Phil Klotzbach, a man whose accomplishments are all the more surprising ... > more -
Physicists, Engineers Capture Lightning with Tethered Rockets
To study lightning, scientists use rockets connected to the ground by wires. They fire the rockets into clouds, triggering electrical discharges, and storing their power. They have found that ... > more -
Meteorologists See Future of Increasingly Extreme Weather Events
While raising average global temperatures, climate change could also bring more snow, harder rain, or heat waves, meteorologists say. Computer models based on climate data from nine countries ... > more -
Civil Engineers Develop Inexpensive System to Assess Damage after Natural Disasters
A new wireless system assesses injury in a structure after it is hit by a natural disaster such as a hurricane. When a building shakes, sensors records the frequency of the movement. This data is ... > more -
Entomologists Design Environmentally-Friendly Lawns, Golf Courses
The PGA Golf course at San Francisco's Harding Park is an environmental model, using fewer pesticides than any other PGA course in the country. Taking a cue from entomologists and other scientists, ... > more -
Meteorologists Discover How Monsoon Affects Summer Weather
Traveling to the coast of Western Mexico, U.S. researchers are studying the North American Monsoon, which brings humid air and heavy rain by blowing winds from the ocean. Studying the monsoon will ... > more
