Students learn from the pros during Argentina storm-sampling campaign
Sixteen graduate students across the U.S. participated in an intensive scientific field campaign as part of an Advanced Study Institute in atmospheric science.
Researchers rise to challenge of predicting hail, tornadoes three weeks in advance
They used a reliable tropical weather pattern called the Madden-Julian Oscillation, which can influence weather in distant parts of the Earth by sending out powerful atmospheric waves.
Jumpin’ droplets! Researchers seek to improve efficiency of condensers
Their solution is a combination of creativity, chemistry and physics, along with Arun Kota’s extensive research in “superomniphobic” surfaces that repel many different kinds of liquids.
Study reconciles persistent gap in natural gas methane emissions measurements
It offers answers to questions that have puzzled policymakers, researchers and regulatory agencies: How much total methane is being emitted from natural gas operations across the U.S.? And why have different estimation methods seemed to disagree?
Atmospheric scientists to weather the stormiest place on Earth
A $30 million NSF-funded field campaign, launching Nov. 1, aims to discover why thunderstorms in a particular region of Argentina are among the most extreme in the world.
