Want to learn how to make a cloud? I'll show you how here, in an experiment you can do with everyday materials at home!
For years, scientists have experimented with engineering techniques that can safely modify rainfall. But experts say the technology isn't capable of causing extreme, sudden flooding.
A tiny particle of dust, lifted from a faraway desert, can travel thousands of miles on the wind. You would never see it. You would never feel it. Yet, new research shows this invisible traveler has a ...
George Mellon, Bolingbrook Dear George, The cloud that you viewed was a pyrocumulus cloud (actually, a “flammagenitus” cloud— the name selected by the World Meteorological Organization in 2017).
Baller estimated that in winter 2020 the extra snow from their cloud seeding program generated an extra 4,000 acre feet of water. An acre-foot amounts to about 326,000 gallons.
Despite conspiracy theories, there's no way that cloud seeding operations days before the storm could have influenced the floods, scientists say.
Tuesday evening, if you happened to be looking up, you may have seen some rainbow-esqe clouds high in the sky.
BOULDER, Colo. — In January 2022, the underwater volcano known to most as Hunga Tonga exploded. A massive ash cloud and shockwave were captured on satellite. “This was a once-in-a-lifetime ...
Substantial influence of vapour buoyancy on tropospheric air temperature and subtropical cloud. Nature Geoscience, 2022; 15 (10): 781 DOI: 10.1038/s41561-022-01033-x ...
The universe is thought to be nearly 14 billion years old. In between that galaxy and Earth is a large cloud of water vapor near to HFLS3, which is cooler than the surrounding CMB.
