A new study from scientists at the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science and colleagues confirms rising levels of water vapor in the upper troposphere -- a key ...

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — How many layers do you think there are in our atmosphere? Five! We have five different layers between us and outer space. From the surface up there is the troposphere, the ...

Scientists confirmed that much of ozone's increase in the upper troposphere is likely due to humans. A team detected a clear signal of human influence on upper tropospheric ozone trends in a 17-year ...

The HALO research aircraft measures the exchange of air masses between the troposphere and stratosphere Trace gases from Asia and America are transported to Europe via the intercontinental jet stream ...

Population is growing, climate is warming - hence, emission of ammonia (NH3) trace gas from e.g. agriculture will increase worldwide. Recently, scientists of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) ...

Hot on the heels of the news that 2014 was likely the warmest year on record at Earth’s surface, scientists have confirmed the lower part of Earth’s atmosphere is warming too. Since 1979, the ...

Researchers found that the stratosphere is shrinking due to greenhouse gases It will likely continue to shrink if greenhouse gas emission trajectories continue A shrinking stratosphere could have ...

On Jan. 31, NASA ended the Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer’s (TES) almost 14-year career of discovery. Launched in 2004 on NASA’s Aura spacecraft, TES was the first instrument designed to monitor ...

If scientists of the 19th century could have used modern tools to study the atmosphere, they might have noticed the early warning signs of a major shift: human activities, like burning coal and wood, ...
