A new climate intervention strategy aims to decrease the amount of water vapor in the stratosphere by injecting it with ice-forming nuclei. The idea is that, by reducing the water content, more heat ...

It may sound like the plot of an old James Bond movie, but an idea to "dehydrate the stratosphere" to slow climate change is real. In a study released Wednesday in Science Advances, researchers ...

New research reduces uncertainty in future climate change linked to the stratosphere, with important implications for life on Earth. A significant source of uncertainty relates to future changes to ...

How far microplastics travel in the atmosphere depends crucially on particle shape, according to a recent study by scientists at the University of Vienna and the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and ...

It is not unusual for numerical models to rush a jet stream pattern change showing it coming faster than it does in reality, and so it may be that the SSW blocking change to the Polar Vortex and ...

Space exploration has impacted Earth’s atmosphere in unexpected ways. According to a study by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), spacecraft that burn upon atmospheric re-entry ...
