Understanding how air moves across a planet is key to predicting its weather and climate. On Earth, these patterns shape ...

A new study by researchers including those at the University of Tokyo revealed that atmospheric gravity waves play a crucial ...

Mars has long fascinated scientists for its similarities to Earth, but recent research has uncovered significant differences ...

Heat waves have gotten hotter in the Northern Hemisphere in recent decades. Home to about 90% of the world's population, with ...

Bt Gwynne Dyer – It used to blast straight east all the way around the planet, but even then it occasionally developed long S-shaped kinks called Rossby waves: Big loops extending far north and ...

Mars' atmosphere moves differently from Earth's due to gravity waves. These waves affect air circulation at high altitudes.

A new study revealed that atmospheric gravity waves play a crucial role in driving latitudinal air currents on Mars, particularly at high altitudes. The findings, based on long-term atmospheric data, ...

This is a video of how the Rossby wave propagates, together with the matching ocean bottom pressure time series. The sound is the actual note played by the ocean, sped up to the audible range ...

Unlike Earth, where Rossby waves dominate atmospheric circulation, on Mars, gravity waves take precedence. These waves, too small to be measured directly, must be estimated using indirect methods.
