Researchers report a link between atmospheric stationary waves and tropical cyclone (TC) activity. TC impacts are expected to worsen in a warming climate, and seasonal prediction of TC activity will ...

THE observations described in the striking experiment of Hubbard and Loomis (NATURE, Aug. 6, 1927, p. 189) are another example of the important conclusions which may be derived from a study of the ...

A huge wave has been spotted in the upper atmosphere of Venus, baffling scientists because it's staying so still above the planet's surface. Usually clouds in that region move at about 328 feet per ...

At the cloud top level of Venus (65-70 km altitude) the atmosphere rotates 60 times faster than the underlying surface, a phenomenon known as superrotation. Whereas on Venus’s dayside the cloud top ...
