Analysis of recent in situ data reveals a persistent mode of organic-rich aerosol particles in the stratosphere below 19 kilometers at nitrous oxide (N2O) > 270 parts per billion by volume, with a num...

Updates and actions on the proposed cuts to NASA science in FY 2027.

Abstract. Stratospheric aerosols, most of which originate from explosive volcanic sulfur emissions into the stratosphere, are a key natural driver of climate variability. They are thus a forcing provi...

Research suggests that rocket exhaust and debris could be threatening the ozone layer, though many uncertainties persist.

Record-smashing Western warmth far outperformed a memorable Eastern stretch of cold waves and winter storms.

Though it may surprise East Coasters, the story of this winter was not record cold but record heat
