Despite the absence of a global Earth-like magnetic dipole, the Martian atmosphere is well protected from the effects of the solar wind on ion escape from the planet. New research shows this using ...

NASA’s Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) mission has identified the process that appears to have played a key role in the transition of the Martian climate from an early, warm and wet ...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - In Earth's upper atmosphere, a fast-moving band of air called the jet stream blows with winds of more than 275 miles (442 km) per hour, but they are not the strongest in our ...

New research reveals the surprising ways atmospheric winds influence ocean eddies, shaping the ocean's weather patterns in ...

Four billion years ago, Mars’ fate was sealed deep within its core. When the planet’s once-vigorous magnetic dynamo sputtered out, the invisible shield that had protected its thick atmosphere from the ...

Earth’s atmosphere is slowly leaking into space, and new research shows some of it reaches the Moon, where it may be ...

Atmospheric rivers are becoming larger and more extreme, increasing the risk of flooding and threats to coastal cities.

Atmospheric motion vectors (AMVs) are derived estimates of wind velocity obtained by tracking the motion of identifiable features, most commonly cloud elements, in sequential satellite imagery. The ...
