Researchers have created a dataset of the whole atmosphere, enabling new research to be conducted on previously difficult-to-study regions. Using a new data-assimilation system called JAGUAR-DAS, ...
The circulation of the atmosphere is characterized by features such as polar fronts, mid-latitude jet streams (fast-flowing narrow air currents) and a tropical meridional (north–south) overturning ...
This infographic shows the multiple layers of our atmosphere, extending from the ground up into space, and how the new dataset compares in coverage to those currently available. A team led by ...
