Scientists have always been curious about the atmosphere surrounding us, but in the past, they could not just hop on a spaceship to see what was up there. Instead, scientists hiked up high ...

This layer of the atmosphere is notoriously difficult to study, but new research sheds light on its mysterious processes.

New research shows iodine in Earth’s early atmosphere delayed the ozone layer’s stabilization, affecting life evolution.

Although they don't impact the surface directly, historical evidence and simulations suggest airbursts can pack a punch.

A team led by researchers at the University of Tokyo has created a dataset of the whole atmosphere, enabling new research to ...

A Yale study reveals that elevated marine iodine concentrations disrupted the stabilization of Earth’s ozone layer, delaying ...

Yet, that is what some researchers at NASA did a few years ago. Atmospheric physicists Paul Newman and Luke Oman built a simulation of the Earth’s atmosphere and then proceeded to strip away our ...

If you like the smell of spring roses, the sounds of summer birdsong, and the colors of fall foliage, you have the stabilization of the ozone layer to thank for it. Located in the stratosphere, where ...

The ozone layer is a thin shield of gas in the Earth’s atmosphere that protects the planet, absorbing the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays and helping to preserve all life on the planet.

Earth's atmosphere is changing — potentially for the worse. A team of researchers has found pollutant metals in Earth's stratosphere — the second layer of our atmosphere — and traced them ...

While ozone is harmful to humans and animals at high concentrations, it’s a vital gas in Earth’s upper atmosphere. A layer of ozone in the stratosphere roughly 20 to 40 km above the surface ...
