Why these scientists keep a close eye on the air way up there and will solar geoengineering help stop climate change? NOAA ...

Mount Tambora in Indonesia 1815 was the planet’s last massive eruption and it ushered in global disaster. Scientists warn the ...

So you're hitting the troposphere and the stratosphere, this is where planes fly. You're that high. Humans aren't meant to survive there. So when you are climbing there, even if you are on oxygen ...

Sulfuric acid aerosols absorb a considerable amount of solar and terrestrial heat, meaning they could trigger warming in the ...

The vortex is essentially an area of low pressure in the upper layers of the atmosphere over the polar region. This vortex ...

The traditional view of the atmosphere holds that the troposphere, which extends from the Earth's surface to an altitude of about 10 km, is the main 'weather layer'. However, in recent years ...

A paper on this study, "The first satellite measurements of HFC-125 by the ACE-FTS: Long-term trends and distribution in the Earth's upper troposphere and lower stratosphere," is published in the ...

The tropopause is defined as the upper limit of the troposphere which is the lowest layer of the atmosphere. A new study shows the earth’s atmosphere is expanding due to climate change.

A massive volcanic eruption can propel sulfur dioxide through the troposphere — the part of the atmosphere where weather happens — and into the stratosphere, the layer about 7 miles above the ...
