Combing the atmosphere to measure greenhouse gases
2014-10-30 09:46:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: By remotely "combing" the atmosphere with a custom laser-based instrument, researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), in collaboration with researchers from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), have developed a new technique that can accurately measure -- over a sizeable distance -- amounts of several of the major "greenhouse" gases implicated in climate change. The technique potentially could be used in several ways to support research on...

Climate change caused by ocean, not just atmosphere
2014-10-25 14:40:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Most of the concerns about climate change have focused on the amount of greenhouse gases that have been released into the atmosphere. But in a new study published in Science, a group of Rutgers researchers have found that circulation of the ocean plays an equally important role in regulating the earth's climate. In their study, the researchers say the major cooling of Earth and continental ice build-up in the Northern Hemisphere 2.7 million years ago coincided with a shift in the circulation...

MAVEN captures first images of Mars atmosphere, braces for close comet flyby
2014-10-15 14:28:01| Extremetech
NASA's MAVEN spacecraft, which arrived at Mars last month, has sent back its first images of the Red Planet's atmosphere as it was battered by a large solar storm. These images are the first of their kind, providing us with information about Mars' ozone layer, and the tenuous oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen coronas at the edge of Mars' atmosphere. These coronas can tell us what the conditions on Mars might've been like over the last four billion years, detailing how the planet went from being warm and wet (and perfectly suited to harboring life), to the cold, dry, dusty sphere that it is today.

Monsoon Rains Decline as Humans Pollute the Atmosphere
2014-10-03 18:07:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environment News Service: Emissions produced by human activities have caused annual monsoon rainfall to decline over the past 50 years, new research has found. In the second half of the 20th century, the levels of rain recorded during the Northern Hemisphere`s summer monsoon fell by as much as 10 percent, according to researchers at the University of Edinburgh. The scientists determined that emissions of tiny particles from human activities, known as anthropogenic aerosols, were the cause. Levels of aerosol emissions...
