A mesoscale convective system is a complex of thunderstorms that can produce damaging wind gusts, hail and heavy rainfall. Occasionally, the set up can produce a tornado but is often not the primary ...

A team of researchers has made significant strides in understanding the mechanisms behind corona ... that plays a critical role in the Earth's atmospheric chemistry. Their findings, published ...

Please join us at UC Davis for the 4th biennial conference on Atmospheric Chemical Mechanisms - Atmospheric Chemistry into the Future from Dec 10~13 2012. Sessions on Isoprene; HOx Measurement; Gas ...

That is because the creation of thunder and lightning require significant amounts of atmospheric instability ... instability in the air, and a lifting mechanism, according to the National ...

The precise mechanisms underlying this atmospheric oxidation capacity are not well understood, leaving the process inadequately described or completely missed in research, according to Yuesi Wang ...

Second, we need a lifting mechanism, like a front or a convergence in the atmosphere. This lift allows air to the reach the level where snow is most efficiently produced, between 3,000 and 15,000 ...
