PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - I like to think of the atmosphere as sort of a big sandwich since the atmosphere isn't just one layer. It has many distinct layers from the ground all the way into space. This ...

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 ...

We might have been very wrong about exactly what lurks below the tranquil blue and green surfaces of Uranus and Neptune. Previous theories have suggested a range of hidden properties of the two ...

Venus Express has spied a surprisingly cold region high in the planet’s atmosphere that may be frigid enough for carbon dioxide to freeze out as ice or snow. The planet Venus is well known for its ...

Astronomers have developed a new way to capture all the exquisite 'layer-cake' details of a brown dwarf's cloud structure. Because brown dwarfs are similar to super-Jupiters, this innovative technique ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Here, we present the climatology of the planetary boundary layer depth in 18 contemporary general circulation models (GCMs) in simulations of ...

The thermodynamic sea ice code in a coupled atmosphere–mixed layer ocean GCM has been altered to allow the presence of open water within an ice pack (leads) and a prescribed turbulent oceanic heat ...

We live in the troposphere and that's where weather happens. It extends from the surface of the Earth to about 7 miles up. The 7 mile cap is an average since colder locations like the poles have a ...
