Microplastics are turning up in unusual places increasingly often as they filter into nearly every facet of life on Earth. They’ve been discovered in drinking water, food, air and even in blood. Now, ...

A dramatically turbulent cloud formation called asperitas and the bizarrely cylindrical roll cloud are among the newest additions to the international handbook for cloud identification. The World ...

Clouds form when water vapor—an invisible gas in the atmosphere—sticks to tiny floating particles, such as dust, and turns into liquid water droplets or ice crystals. In a newly published study, we ...

Rising temperatures are thought to reduce the number of ice crystals in clouds, leading to the formation of liquid-dominated clouds. However, a new study has found that Arctic warming is causing an ...

Ever looked up at the clouds and wondered where they came from? That's exactly what atmospheric researcher Lubna Dada studies at the Paul Scherrer Institute. She is part of an international project ...

As the frequency and size of wildfires continues to increase worldwide, new research shows how the chemical aging of the particles emitted by these fires can lead to more extensive cloud formation and ...

Rare and distinct cloud formations that resemble rippling ocean waves were recently spotted in the sky over New Hampshire. The cloud formations, known as Undulatus Asperitas, have wave-like structures ...

Deep in the Amazon, high above the rainforest, clouds sprout from the thick atmosphere, their condensed water vapor billowing into the blue sky beyond. Underneath this, on the ground but acutely aware ...

There are mainly four types of clouds, which are further sub-categorised into 12 sub-types. Usually, when you look up at the sky, you will always find shifting shapes of clouds that are more than just ...

Turbulent air in the atmosphere affects how cloud droplets form. New research from Michigan Technological University’s cloud chamber changes the way clouds, and therefore climate, are modeled. Chat ...
