Scientists have shown that human activity is having an impact on the height of the tropopause - the boundary between the troposphere (the lowest layer of the atmosphere) and the stratosphere. The ...

A new study has revealed yet another way that human-induced climate change is affecting the planet. Decades of weather balloon and satellite data has shown that the Earth’s troposphere is expanding, ...

LIVERMORE, Calif. -- Researchers at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have discovered another fingerprint of human effects on global climate. Recent research has shown that increases in the ...

The flooding season had just ended in China. Persistent strong precipitation events in many regions of China resulted in severe flooding disasters in the just passed summer of 2020. It is of great ...

BOULDER, Colo. — The troposphere is the layer of the atmosphere that we live in – where all the weather happens. The stratosphere is the layer right above that. In the 1990s, scientists realized that ...

In the late 20th century scientists observed a cooling at the transition between the troposphere and stratosphere at an altitude of about 15 kilometers. Climate scientists now show that the cooling ...

The impact of two different coupled cirrus microphysics–radiation parameterizations on the zonally averaged temperature and humidity biases in the tropical tropopause layer (TTL) of aMet Office ...

IN the neighbourhood of the equator, the height of the tropopause is about 17 gkm. and at latitude 70° N. about 10 gkm. The rate at which the height of the tropopause changes with latitude is, however ...

The tropopause – a boundary within the atmosphere – is increasing in altitude due to climate change. The lowest layer of the atmosphere where we live and breathe is called the troposphere, and it is ...

Have you ever noticed clouds have flat bottoms? Not all clouds, but the puffy little cumulus Toy Story-style clouds do often have them, especially when it's not too windy. During the day the sun warms ...
