Venus’ surface has long been hidden beneath thick clouds and sparse data, but new research is beginning to illuminate what ...
This fall, NASA scientist Kris Bedka flew into Hurricane Helene to test a device that uses lasers to create ultradetailed wind measurements. It could be the key to unlocking better storm predictions.
Climate change is disturbing wind patterns across the globe in dramatic ways. And when combined with land-use change and desertification, these changes are spawning immense sand and dust storms that ...
Offshore wind turbines change the air and ocean currents. The rotors extract wind energy and influence surface currents, while the turbine pillars underwater act as obstacles and slow down tidal ...
The urgent fight to protect Australia's iconic Great Barrier Reef from disastrous mass coral bleaching events has been given a significant boost, with new research from Monash University identifying ...
Amid concerns of a toxic cloud of black rain drifting towards India, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) is closely ...
What can sand dunes on Earth and Mars teach us about the latter’s wind behavior and atmosphere? This is what a recently awarded NASA grant hopes to address as a PhD student at Texas A&M University ...

Where (And How Fast) Does the Wind Blow?
Since 2012, global wind power generation capacity has nearly quadrupled. As technologies have matured and costs have come down, wind energy has been embraced by countries across the globe. But ...
Because of the shape of Michigan and the shape of Lake Michigan, we get what is called a convergence zone. This zone makes unique weather here in Michigan. The precipitation process is simple. Rising ...
