Over time, they noticed that the atmosphere had distinct layers. By the early 1900s, scientists had identified major layers of the atmosphere based on how the temperature changed at different ...

A layer of charged particles, called the ionosphere, surrounds Earth, extending from about 50 to 400 miles above the surface of the planet. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for ...

This layer of the atmosphere is notoriously difficult to study, but new research sheds light on its mysterious processes.

Atmospheric science is the study of the dynamics and chemistry of the layers of gas that surround the Earth, other planets and moons. This encompasses the interactions between various parts of the ...

Weather, climate and hydrometeorology forecasts require accurate surface–atmosphere coupled modeling. This requires the use ...

the team created a nearly 20-yearlong set of data spanning multiple levels of the atmosphere from ground level up to the lower edges of space. Being able to study the interactions of these layers ...

These phenomena, embedded in the stratospheric haze layers capping the planet’s poles, provide a window into complex atmospheric and magnetic processes. Using data from the Hubble Space ...
