Tropical climate and the composition of the global upper atmosphere are affected by the tropical tropopause layer — the atmospheric transition zone between the well-mixed, convective troposphere (up ...

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 ...

An international team of researchers has found evidence that the troposphere has been getting thicker, pushing the tropopause higher at a continuous rate over the past 40 years. In their paper ...

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 ...

Scientists from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have determined that human-induced changes in ozone and well-mixed greenhouse gases are the primary drivers of recent changes in the height ...

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 ...

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, ...

A lidar system has been used at Gadanki (13.5°, 79.2°E) to study the characteristics of aerosol layer (cloud) occurring just below the tropical tropopause. The preliminary results of the lidar ...

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 ...
