By 2050, offshore wind power capacity in the North Sea is set to increase more than tenfold. Researchers at the Helmholtz Center Hereon have analyzed the long-term overall impact of this large number ...

Close to the sun, the solar wind, a steady stream of charged particles, accelerates until it cannot turn back. During a record pass about 3.8 million miles above the surface, Parker Solar Probe ...

The trade winds are permanent east-to-west prevailing winds that flow in Earth's equatorial region, blowing mainly from the northeast in the Northern Hemisphere and from the southeast in the Southern ...

What can sand dunes on Earth and Mars teach us about the latter’s wind behavior and atmosphere? This is what a recently awarded NASA grant hopes to address as a PhD student at Texas A&M University ...

This fall, NASA scientist Kris Bedka flew into Hurricane Helene to test a device that uses lasers to create ultradetailed wind measurements. It could be the key to unlocking better storm predictions.

Earth’s magnetic field and atmospheric oxygen appear to have moved in sync for half a billion years, pointing to a surprising connection between the planet’s deep interior and life-supporting ...
