In winter, incoming solar radiation and outgoing terrestrial radiation can greatly change the temperature of an air mass.

Op-ed views and opinions expressed are solely those of the author. Carbon dioxide (CO₂) has been predominantly portrayed as the chief culprit driving global warming. For decades, […] ...

The area near clouds is often classified as ‘clear sky’, but a new study demonstrates the potential biases of misclassifying ...

The researchers focused on longwave radiation, the heat energy Earth emits back into the atmosphere. Usually, clouds trap some of this heat and send it back to the ground. But as the climate warms ...

Over the next few years, climate researchers from Germany aim to achieve a breakthrough in the radiative properties of clouds by describing the corresponding processes not just one-dimensionally, as ...

A recent video created from images captured by Curiosity shows clouds tinted red and green flowing though the sky over Mars.

Red-and-green-tinted clouds drift through the Martian sky in a new set of images captured by NASA's Curiosity rover using its ...

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 ...

Ice nucleating particles as a kind of aerosols have a significant impact on the Arctic climate by promoting the formation of ice clouds at a temperature above ­–38˚C. Wildfires in mid-latitudinal ...

Capturing clouds and radiation in 3D is seen as an important step towards undistorted remote sensing of the atmosphere and improved modelling of climate and weather. The new research group of the ...
