An international team of researchers has found evidence that the troposphere has been getting thicker, pushing the tropopause higher at a continuous rate over the past 40 years. In their paper ...

Analysis of air samples taken at altitudes of up to 3,000 meters above Japan has revealed the presence of a vast range of viable bacteria and fungi transported by air masses originating more than ...

When a radio signal is broadcast from a transmitter, some of it disappears upwards into space and is lost. However, during ...

Scientists studying the troposphere – the lowest level of the atmosphere – have found “powerful evidence” that climate change is altering seasonal temperatures. A study published in Science finds that ...

Research performed in the US has helped lay to rest one of the lasting controversies surrounding climate models: whether or not the upper troposphere is warming. Climate models have long predicted ...

The tropopause – a boundary within the atmosphere – is increasing in altitude due to climate change. The lowest layer of the atmosphere where we live and breathe is called the troposphere, and it is ...
