Earth’s atmosphere is slowly leaking into space, and new research shows some of it reaches the Moon, where it may be ...

Over the past two decades, microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) have been recognized as emerging pollutants, detected across every environmental compartment of Earth's system—the atmosphere, ...

Atmospheric rivers are long, narrow corridors of concentrated water vapor in the atmosphere that transport vast amounts of moisture from the tropics toward mid-latitude and polar regions. These ...

Observations of Jupiter show that ammonia is unevenly distributed in the upper atmosphere, against expectations of uniform mixing. Scientists found evidence for a complicated but apparently real ...

What’s the first thing you do after waking up each morning, before you’ve even gotten out of bed? For many people, it’s checking the weather. For most, this is a thoughtless chore, an unexciting daily ...

UW-Milwaukee’s Atmospheric Science program is a part of the School of Freshwater Sciences. The degree program will close at the end of this school year due to low enrollment and faculty retirements, ...

A new study published in the Advances in Space Research journal suggests that moisture in the Martian atmosphere could serve ...
