The study of the processes that lead to the formation, growth, and precipitation of clouds in the boundary layer of the lower atmosphere. Develops models and analyzes observations to understand the ...
By analyzing satellite data and weather records, a team of climatologists in Germany have found that the culprit is likely fewer clouds at low altitudes — lower than about 10,000 feet (3,000 meters).
During the April 8, 2024, total solar eclipse, scientists observed the ionosphere — a charged layer in Earth’s upper atmosphere — rising in altitude during the eclipse.
But he said he was most worried that the study affirms other research showing that global warming itself is driving the loss of clouds by diffusing distinct layers of the atmosphere that promote ...
