Despite the absence of a global Earth-like magnetic dipole, the Martian atmosphere is well protected from the effects of the solar wind on ion escape from the planet. New research shows this using ...

NASA’s ESCAPADE mission studies how solar wind removed Mars’ atmosphere, using twin spacecraft to measure atmospheric escape, magnetosphere changes, and space weather impacts.

NASA’s Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) mission has identified the process that appears to have played a key role in the transition of the Martian climate from an early, warm and wet ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Weather forecasters talk about wind shear a lot during hurricane season, but what exactly is it? I teach meteorology at Georgia ...

A 6.5-foot Mars sand ridge called Hazyview reveals how strong, steady winds once shaped the planet’s surface and soil ...

Atmospheric motion vectors (AMVs) are derived estimates of wind velocity obtained by tracking the motion of identifiable features, most commonly cloud elements, in sequential satellite imagery. The ...

An atmospheric river will bring rain, high-elevation snow, gusty winds and possible flooding to Reno-Tahoe through midweek.
