NASA finds ex-Tropical Cyclone Uesi’s rains affecting New Zealand
Although it is now an “ex-tropical cyclone,” Uesi continues to generate some moderate rainfall, especially in its southern quadrant as it moves toward New Zealand. The Global Precipitation Measurement mission or GPM satellite provided a look at the rainfall rates…

NASA finds heavy rain southwest of tropical cyclone Uesi’s center
The Global Precipitation Measurement mission or GPM satellite provided a look at the rainfall occurring within Tropical Cyclone Uesi and found heaviest rainfall in the southern quadrant of the storm. Uesi is in the South Pacific Ocean and has been…
Small altitude changes could cut the climate impact of aircraft
Contrails — the white, fluffy streaks in the sky that form behind planes — can harm the environment. Now, scientists report in ACS’ Environmental Science & Technology that small flight path adjustments could reduce the climate impact of these emissions.…
Al Gore to lead global ‘healthy planet, healthy lives’ forum in Switzerland this May
Former US Vice President to address climate solutions in Montreux
Small altitude changes could cut climate impact of aircraft by up to 59%
Aircraft contrails – the white streaks aircraft leave in the sky – could be as bad for the climate as their carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Now, new Imperial College London-led research has found that flight altitude changes of just 2000…

NASA finds a stronger Tropical Cyclone Uesi near New Caledonia
NASA’s Terra satellite passed over the South Pacific Ocean and found a stronger Tropical Cyclone Uesi after obtaining infrared imagery of the storm. Uesi continues moving away from Vanuatu and today is affecting New Caledonia. Infrared data provides temperature information,…
Storm-induced sea level spikes differ in origin on US east, gulf coasts
The U.S. East and Gulf Coasts differ in how ocean and atmospheric circulation and sea level interact to produce storm surges, and both regions will experience greater storm surges as global warming progresses, according to new research from a University…
Coincidences influence the onset and ending of ice ages
When we predict future climate, it is important to understand the climate of the past. We do. Mostly. Some details are still debatable. An example of that are the periodicities of ice ages – that is, how ice ages come…

NASA analyzes ex-Tropical Cyclone Damien’s rainfall in Western Australia
Tropical Cyclone Damien made landfall on Feb. 9 along the northern Pilbara coast of Western Australia. On Feb. 10, the GPM or Global Precipitation Measurement mission core satellite analyzed the rainfall generated by the remnants that triggered warnings. As Damien…
NASA examines Tropical Storm Uesi’s heavy rainfall
NASA analyzed Tropical Storm Uesi’s rainfall and found moderate to heavy rainfall around the storm’s center and in a large band of thunderstorms south of the center. That heavy rainfall has triggered warnings for Vanuatu in the Southern Pacific Ocean.…

There’s a twist in the story of volcanism & mass extinctions, say CCNY researchers
An emerging scientific consensus is that gases–in particular carbon gases–released by volcanic eruptions millions of years ago contributed to some of Earth’s greatest mass extinctions. But new research at The City College of New York suggests that that’s not the…
Scientists show solar system processes control the carbon cycle throughout Earth’s history
The world is waking up to the fact that human-driven carbon emissions are responsible for warming our climate, driving unprecedented changes to ecosystems, and placing us on course for the sixth mass extinction event in Earth’s history. However, new research…
