By 2050, offshore wind power capacity in the North Sea is set to increase more than tenfold. Researchers at the Helmholtz ...

Exoplanets have a remarkable diversity of planetary types, including a class known as ultrahot Jupiters. The similarity to Jupiter in the Solar System is that they are gas giants. However, they are ...

The trade winds are permanent east-to-west prevailing winds that flow in Earth's equatorial region, blowing mainly from the northeast in the Northern Hemisphere and from the southeast in the Southern ...

This fall, NASA scientist Kris Bedka flew into Hurricane Helene to test a device that uses lasers to create ultradetailed wind measurements. It could be the key to unlocking better storm predictions.

Reference maps of key areas mentioned in this study. Panel (a) shows the ERA5 bathymetric map of the GBR region, while panel (b) shows the Australian domain. Davies Reef is denoted by the pale yellow ...

11 degrees Celsius. This temperature flip happens because wind turbines act like giant mixers in the sky, stirring up air layers that would normally stay separate during calm conditions. The mixing ...

What can sand dunes on Earth and Mars teach us about the latter’s wind behavior and atmosphere? This is what a recently awarded NASA grant hopes to address as a PhD student at Texas A&M University ...
