The planet Mars has several similarities with Earth, including extinct volcanoes, dry lake beds, and active dust storms, the last of which is governed by the Red Planet’s prevailing winds. However, ...

Wind speed and direction provide clues for forecasting weather patterns. In fact, wind influences cloud formation by bringing water vapor together. Atmospheric scientists have now found a novel way of ...

Atmospheric scientists have developed an algorithm that uses data from water vapor movements to measure wind. This could help predict extreme events like hurricanes. Wind speed and direction provide ...

Houston is quite familiar with tropical cyclones. Within the past couple of years, we have seen multiple systems affect our area, such as Hurricanes Beryl and Harvey, along with tropical storms like ...

Understanding the different ways wind can influence a bullet's flight — and knowing which influences you can ignore — is the ...

The Army wants mini wind-detectors to help snipers measure crosswinds as far as 1,500 meters away, contracting documents reveal. These electronic devices could serve as aids to help snipers fire on ...

"Wind turbines oscillate with displacements of up to a meter in magnitude, even at normal wind speeds. This represents a large load for the material, which can lead to damage and worst case to failure ...

Measurement of volcanic gases is critical for both public safety and understanding volcanic activity — and everything we measure relies on the wind. The USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory currently ...
