Venus has a rich and complicated atmosphere – the densest of all the rocky planets – which is the key to understanding the planet itself. Venus Express, designed to perform an extensive investigation ...

Researchers have revealed that Jupiter’s upper atmosphere maintains a stable, planet-wide structure that has persisted over ...

Climate change is having an increasing impact on the structure of Earth's atmosphere, a new international study shows. The research draws on decades of observations to quantify that warming ...

Atmospheric rivers—narrow bands of concentrated water vapor transported polewards from the tropics—don't just deliver a deluge of rainfall, but play a key role in driving extreme heat events and ...

A two-year, side-by-side measurement comparison at Reno-Tahoe International Airport demonstrates that due to station siting and localized Urban Heat Island (UHI) effects a persistent warm bias of ...

New research provides clear evidence of a human 'fingerprint' on climate change and shows that specific signals from human activities have altered the temperature structure of Earth's atmosphere. New ...

New study notes that warming boosts and weakens the molecule that removes 90% of atmospheric methane simultaneously.

An artistic rendering of the ultra-hot gas giant exoplanet WASP-18b. (Image credit: Keith Miller/Caltech/IPAC) There’s an intriguing exoplanet out there—400 light-years out there—that is so ...

Neptune’s atmospheric temperature is on an unexpected roller-coaster ride, and it could take decades for scientists to piece together what’s happening at the distant planet. Each Neptune year lasts ...

Although we are learning more than ever before about the other planets in our solar system, there are still plenty of mysteries to unwind. One open question is why exactly the atmosphere of gas giants ...

Like so many humans, perhaps the atmosphere is having issues adjusting to the time change. At the very least, it’s having ...
