PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - I like to think of the atmosphere as sort of a big sandwich since the atmosphere isn't just one layer. It has many distinct layers from the ground all the way into space. This ...

We live in the troposphere and that's where weather happens. It extends from the surface of the Earth to about 7 miles up. The 7 mile cap is an average since colder locations like the poles have a ...

Earth’s atmosphere has five major and several secondary layers. From lowest to highest, the major layers are the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere and exosphere. "The Snow Makes ...

There is a layer of air from the ground up to a few hundred feet called the planetary boundary layer. The boundary layer is the lowest layer of the atmosphere and is heated by the convection of heat ...

(WIVB)–In this week’s episode of Science with Stevie, we are going to talk about the five different layers of the atmosphere. The Earth’s atmosphere has layers of gasses, known as air, that surrounds ...

As much as we should appreciate and protect the atmosphere that immediately embraces this planet, the other layers of the atmosphere are essential too and provide services we may not readily recognize ...

Venus Express has spied a surprisingly cold region high in the planet’s atmosphere that may be frigid enough for carbon dioxide to freeze out as ice or snow. The planet Venus is well known for its ...

Astronomers have developed a new way to capture all the exquisite 'layer-cake' details of a brown dwarf's cloud structure. Because brown dwarfs are similar to super-Jupiters, this innovative technique ...

The thermodynamic sea ice code in a coupled atmosphere–mixed layer ocean GCM has been altered to allow the presence of open water within an ice pack (leads) and a prescribed turbulent oceanic heat ...
