A new study is helping scientists clarify how clouds can affect climate, while also dimming the prospects for some proposed ...

“Cirrus clouds — high, wispy clouds visible in the distant atmosphere on relatively clear days — absorb and trap more radiation, warming the Earth,” while “stratus or stratocumulus ...

Clouds are transient collections of particles that interact strongly with visible radiation: they are transient in the sense that the particles in a cloud are continuously evolving in size and ...

Patrick Taylor, the deputy science lead for the mission known as ARCSIX, for Arctic Radiation Cloud Aerosol Surface Interaction Experiment, told Space.com. This bold mission to one of the world's ...

The study, published in Advances in Atmospheric Sciences, identifies cloud–radiation feedback as the dominant source behind ...

We haven’t figured out exactly what gives them their shape, determines altitude – or makes them rain when they do. But ...

NGC 4941 dazzles in a new Hubble image, showcasing star-forming regions and a supermassive black hole that dramatically ...

A team of researchers have analyzed the impact of different cloud types on solar irradiance predictions. They found prediction models that factor in the physics of how clouds interact with sunlight ...

Houston drivers on Tuesday morning found themselves wrapped in that mysterious grayness we know as fog, which the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association defines as water droplets suspended in ...

Computer modelling approach on impact of volcanic eruptions, wildfires and ship emissions reduction as natural analogues of solar radiation management ...

In late February, the ECMWF added cloud and radiation outputs to their first operational AI-driven weather model, AIFS V1, offering a new kind of forecast for solar radiation forecasting.
