Without water vapor, the planet would be much colder and less hospitable. Where Does Humidity Come From? Humidity is a natural part of our atmosphere and originates from various sources. The primary source of atmospheric humidity is the evaporation of water from large bodies of water, such as...
In order to classify dry climates, you calculate the precipitation threshold based on how much total precipitation falls during the high sun period. In the northern hemisphere, the defined period is from April to September. But in the southern hemisphere, it’s from October through March. If th...
We reviewed the Emergency Events Database (EM-DAT)45 for extreme events that occurred within the 20 cities considered in this study and used archives of historical precipitation and a simple rainfall-runoff approximation to estimate the inflow rate, q, see Materials and“Methods” Section D. Figu...
On February 8, 2022, approximately 40 of the 49 Starlink satellites were reported to have lost altitude, leading to atmospheric re-entry. SpaceX reported that the orbital decay on Starlink satellites was considered to be linked to a geomagnetic storm tha
Even a few hundred years is pretty short-term when it comes to climate. In fact, changes in climate sometimes take tens of thousands of years. That means if you happen to have a winter that isn't as cold as usual, with not very much snow -- or even two or three such winters in ...

But with little precipitation in the forecast, officials are now hastily preparing for if and when the salt water will reach the state’s most populous city — New Orleans. WHAT IS SALTWATER INTRUSION AND HOW DID IT HAPPEN? Typically, the mighty flow of the Mis...
(2024) emphasized that the extreme El Niño teleconnections and impacts over North America were much more reproducible compared to those of moderate El Niño or La Niña events. Therefore, our second objective is to investigate the extreme El Niño teleconnection reproducibility within the ...
Consider how much territory falls in the high-risk category—namely, a territory where an extreme event such as a hurricane or flood has a high probability of occurrence. As an example, Jupiter categorized 43% of the US, 63% of Australia, and 31% of Indonesia as high risk. For all coun...
