Collaboration among three Georgia institutions of higher education on the operation of a new weather radar system will enhance student learning, provide new opportunities for research, and help improve severe weather coverage in north Georgia.
Using Hubble, astronomers have discovered that Jupiter's Great Red Spot (GRS) is not as stable as it might look. Hubble measurements of the GRS's size, shape, brightness, color, and vorticity showed it can change dimensions—looking like a slightly skinnier or fatter red oval over 90 days.
A team from the University of Houston found that, when they reduced estimates of atmospheric friction of storms, their predictions on PSC’s Bridges-2 improved markedly over standard storm predictions. This advancement promises better planning to lessen the effects of storms on people and possibly aid emergency storm responses.
The state of Florida declared a state of emergency and evacuations are underway. ...
For the past three years, students in the Rosenstiel School at the University of Miami have investigated how information on devastating landfalling hurricanes is created, shared, and used within a complete warning system.
A Florida State University meteorological faculty member has been elected as a fellow of the most prestigious weather organization in the country for his research into the formation, structure, impacts and predictability of cyclones, atmospheric visualization and the history of meteorology.
From hurricanes and precipitation patterns to drought conditions, artificial intelligence is quickly gaining ground as a powerful tool in predicting weather events. University of Miami researchers are part of the revolution, but challenges remain.
Devon Ledbetter, a University of Miami graduate student at the Rosenstiel School, is creating a virtual reality experience that will let anyone fly aboard a hurricane hunter aircraft and into the eye of the storm.
A pilot’s initiative to track the 1935 Labor Day Hurricane that decimated the Florida Keys marked the beginning of the era of today’s legendary hurricane hunters.
Researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory worked with the Color Vision Deficiency (CVD) community to create CVD-friendly colormaps that are more inclusive and accessible.
Beach-loving environmental researchers wondered how a highly active hurricane season impacts beaches along the coast.
The McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica live up to their name. The region is one of the driest places on Earth — mountains form a wall around the valleys and prevent melting glacier water from intruding, humidity is extremely low, and no rain was documented in the valleys between the 1960s and the early 2020s. So when Virginia Tech biological sciences Professor J.
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) scientists recently received and will analyze samples from the asteroid Bennu that will help explain how it formed and where it came from.
Since the first exoplanet was discovered in 1992, thousands of planets orbiting stars outside of our solar system have been confirmed through a myriad of different methods, including direct imaging, gravitational microlensing, measuring transits, and astrometry.
'Twisters' draws from storm-chasing science led by Nebraska expert
Cosmic rays could offer scientists another way to track and study violent tornadoes and other severe weather phenomena, a new study suggests.
