Is reflecting sunlight back into space or modifying clouds a potential tool for countering climate change?
These four articles from The Conversation’s archives explain how tornadoes form, why night tornadoes are more deadly, and how in rare cases thunderstorms can take a different but equally destructive form – a derecho.
The research team believes there's a lack of communication about smoke from distant wildfires.
Ice-nucleating particles typically play a major role in cloud behavior, and the strength of that effect is still being studied.
Researchers will study snowpack, streams and sediment in waterways affected by the largest wildfire in Colorado history.
From 1981 to 2012, 70% of major Atlantic hurricanes – those reaching Category 3 or higher – have gone through rapid intensification.
A hot desert wind is carrying a massive cloud of Saharan dust into the southern United States this week.
This was the mystery: Why are there more liquid clouds than the models think there are? To solve it, we needed to know what kinds of particles are floating around in the atmosphere around Antarctica.
Outlooks showed potential for severe storms two to three days in advance, but didn’t highlight the potential for destructive winds until the morning that the derecho formed on June 6.
