The cloud fraction diurnal variation (CDV) regulates the Earth system’s radiative budget and balance, influencing atmospheric variables such as temperature and humidity, as well as physical processes ...

PARTNER CONTENT: Scientists say the global climate crisis is continuing to intensify, and managing the situation requires increasingly innovative solutions. While governments wrestle with setting new ...

When clouds meet clear skies, cloud droplets evaporate as they mix with dry air. A new study has succeeded in capturing what happens in a model. Ultimately, this could lead to more accurate climate ...

From the deck of an enormous research ship, surrounded by icebergs, Chelsea Bekemeier releases a tethered balloon into the air. She's standing in temperatures well below freezing, stationed deep in ...

The East Asian climate is profoundly influenced by complex interactions between the atmosphere, ocean, and land. A research team led by Prof. Dan Li at the Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese ...

In the tropics, along the band of sky near the equator, clouds and wind run the show. These are juicy clouds that aggregate and disaggregate in agglomerations and that can live a long time, as far as ...
