NASA's James Webb Space Telescope and the Keck II telescope have collected first-of-its-kind evidence for cloud formation on ...

The first phase is inhibition of convection by the water-loading effect and its eventual release. We describe the thermodynamic properties of Saturn’s atmosphere and identify the same critical ...

"For the first time we can see the chemical cake while it's rising in the oven, instead of just the starting ingredients of ...

The main cause is water vapor, which fuels explosive deep convection in the atmosphere. The more convection, the greater the charge separation and the more cloud-to-ground strikes. Today's climate ...

The Amazon Basin lost about 27,000 square kilometers of forest each year from 2001 to 2016. By 2021, about 17% of the basin had been deforested.

Scientists have long known that atmospheric convection in the form of hurricanes and tropical ocean thunderstorms tends to occur when sea surface temperature rises above a threshold. The critical ...
