Latest and Breaking Atmospheric Science News
Front-row seats to climate change
(United States Geological Survey) Increasingly erratic rainfall patterns can lead to declines in southeastern frog and salamander populations, but protecting ponds can improve their plight.
Satellite sees Tropical Storm Alvin's life end quickly
(NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center) The first tropical storm of the Eastern Pacific hurricane season was short-lived. Satellite imagery revealed that Tropical Storm Alvin became a remnant low pressure area 36 hours after it was named.
NASA sees Cyclone Mahasen hit Bangladesh
(NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center) NASA's Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission satellite known as TRMM measured Cyclone Mahasen's rainfall rates from space as it made landfall on May 16. Mahasen has since dissipated over eastern India.
First Atlanta Science Festival set for 2014
(Georgia Institute of Technology) Atlanta residents of all ages will celebrate the science and technology of the region and its impact on our daily lives during the inaugural Atlanta Science Festival, March 22-29, 2014. With scientists, engineers and educators from local museums, corporations, K-12 schools and universities, the festival will host more than 40 different events for children and adults at venues across the city.
Climate change may have little impact on tropical lizards
(Dartmouth College) A new Dartmouth College study finds human-caused climate change may have little impact on many species of tropical lizards, contradicting a host of recent studies that predict their widespread extinction in a rapidly warming planet.
How should geophysics contribute to disaster planning?
(American Institute of Physics) Earthquakes, tsunamis, and other natural disasters often showcase the worst in human suffering -- especially when those disasters strike populations who live in rapidly growing communities in the developing world with poorly enforced or non-existent building codes. This week in Cancun, researchers present a comparison between large-scale earthquakes and tsunamis in different parts of the world, illustrating how nearly identical natural disasters can play out very differently depending on where they strike.
NASA sees Eastern Pacific get first tropical storm: Alvin
(NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center) NASA's Aqua satellite and NOAA's GOES-15 satellite captured imagery of the Eastern Pacific Ocean's first named tropical storm, Alvin.
NASA sees heavy rainfall as Cyclone Mahasen made landfall
(NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center) NASA's TRMM satellite identified areas of heavy rainfall as Cyclone Mahasen made landfall today, May 16, in southern Bangladesh.
LLNL scientist finds topography of Eastern Seaboard muddles ancient sea level changes
(DOE/Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory) The distortion of the ancient shoreline and flooding surface of the US Atlantic Coastal Plain are the direct result of fluctuations in topography in the region and could have implications on understanding long-term climate change, according to a new study.
Art of Science exhibit celebrates the 'unpredictability of beauty'
(Princeton University, Engineering School) The Princeton University Art of Science 2013 exhibit can now be viewed in a new online gallery. The gallery features aesthetically intriguing images produced during the course of scientific research.
