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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...
