NASA looks at Inland Rainfall from Post Tropical Cyclone Bertha
NASA’s GPM core satellite analyzed rainfall generated from post-tropical cyclone Bertha as it continues to move toward the Great Lakes. Bertha formed into a tropical storm on May 27, about 30 miles off the South Carolina coast. By 9:30 a.m.…
Climate could cause abrupt British vegetation changes
Climate change could cause abrupt shifts in the amount of vegetation growing in parts of Great Britain, new research shows. The University of Exeter studied the country in high resolution, using models to examine the local impacts of two climate…
A potential explanation for urban smog
The effect of nitric acid on aerosol particles in the atmosphere may offer an explanation for the smog seen engulfing cities on frosty days. Under laboratory conditions, researchers at CERN in Switzerland observed the formation of atmospheric aerosols and discovered…
Study shows erosion of ozone layer responsible for mass extinction event
Researchers at the University of Southampton have shown that an extinction event 360 million years ago, that killed much of the Earth’s plant and freshwater aquatic life, was caused by a brief breakdown of the ozone layer that shields the…

NASA catches the extra-tropical ending of Mangga
By Sunday, May 24, Tropical Cyclone Mangga had already transitioned to an extra-tropical storm and was affecting the southwestern coast of Australia. When a storm becomes extra-tropical, it means that a tropical cyclone has lost its “tropical” characteristics. The National…
Warming climate is changing where birds breed

There is no escaping from climate change, even in the deep sea
Even though the deeper layers of the ocean are warming at a slower pace than the surface, animals living in the deep ocean are more exposed to climate warming and will face increasing challenges to maintain their preferred thermal habitats…
NASA examines tropical storm Mangga in infrared light
NASA’s Aqua satellite used infrared light to provide forecasters with a look at the temperatures of the cloud tops in Tropical Storm Mangga. Mangga, formerly known as 27S, is moving through the Southern Indian Ocean. Mangga was approaching the Cocos…
Scientists identify a temperature tipping point for tropical forests
All living things have tipping points: points of no return, beyond which they cannot thrive. A new report in Science shows that maximum daily temperatures above 32.2 degrees Celsius (about 90 degrees Fahrenheit) cause tropical forests to lose stored carbon…

NASA examines tropical storm Arthur’s rainfall as it transitions
When the Global Precipitation Measurement mission or GPM core satellite passed over the western North Atlantic Ocean, it captured rainfall data on Tropical Storm Arthur as the storm was transitioning into an extra-tropical storm. The GPM’s core satellite passed over…
NASA-NOAA satellite sees Amphan’s eye obscured
Early on May 18, 2020, Tropical Cyclone Amphan was a Category 5 storm in the Northern Indian Ocean. On May 19, satellite data from NASA-NOAA’s Suomi NPP satellite revealed that the storm has weakened and the eye was covered by…
