thermal characteristics (temperature changes), chemical composition, movement, and density. Each of the layers are bounded by "pauses" where the greatest changes in thermal characteristics, chemical ...

As much as we should appreciate and protect the atmosphere that immediately embraces this planet, the other layers of the atmosphere are essential too and provide services we may not readily recognize ...

The past few centuries have yielded an abundance of information about Earth's atmosphere, from the weather that manifests in the troposphere and stratosphere to the vast amounts of heat absorbed by ...

The ozone layer is a part of Earth’s atmosphere that captures some of the Sun’s ultraviolet (UV) light emissions. When the ozone layer is compromised, its ability to absorb radiation weakens, allowing ...

The ionosphere – the region of geospace spanning from 60 to 1000 kilometres above the Earth – impairs the propagation of radio signals from global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) with its ...

A Nov. 12, 2023, Instagram post (direct link, archive link) suggests that missions to the moon are impossible because a spacecraft couldn't survive the trip through a layer of Earth's atmosphere ...

A new climate intervention strategy aims to decrease the amount of water vapor in the stratosphere by injecting it with ice-forming nuclei. The idea is that, by reducing the water content, more heat ...

Increasing CO2 levels are triggering changes in the ionosphere that will adversely affect signals, say scientists ...
