In numerical weather forecasting research, how to improve short-term forecasts of tropical cyclone intensity is a challenging problem that has long plagued meteorologists and operational forecasters, despite meteorologists having greatly increased the accuracy of the initial field through increasing observations.in either quantity or quality. 

A new study says that hurricanes Irma and Maria combined in 2017 to knock down a quarter of the biomass contained in Puerto Rico’s trees — and that massive rainfall, more than wind, was a previously unsuspected key factor.

Using more than 30 years of earth satellite images, scientists at Tufts University and the non-profit conservation organization Defenders of Wildlife have discovered that habitat loss for imperiled species in the U.S. over this period was more than twice as great on non-protected private lands than on federally protected lands. 

Though not as prevalent in the atmosphere as carbon dioxide, methane is a far more potent greenhouse gas.

Spring is coming, and with it comes the promise of warmer weather, longer days and renewed life.

A cold front, warm front, and high-pressure system left their signatures in the clouds.

On Feb. 18 a new era began in an international effort to improve air quality science and forecasting around the world to help reduce the impact of air pollution on human health and the environment.

NASA's Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2) measures the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere over urban areas to help researchers better characterize the sources and sinks of the greenhouse gas.

Researchers find evidence of a cosmic impact that caused destruction of one of the world’s earliest human settlements.
