COMSTOCK PARK, Mich. — Meteorologists all over the world use a wide variety of instruments to measure things like temperature, air pressure, humidity and a host of other variables. In Tuesday's ...

Bucknell University Professor Katelyn Allers, physics & astronomy, is publishing the first measurement of atmospheric wind speed outside the solar system using a new technique she developed. Her study ...

CINCINNATI (WKRC) - On days like this when the wind chill get to sub-freezing temperatures, it's not really the air temperature that is the issue, it's the wind. And how meteorologists measure the ...

Wind speed and direction provide clues for forecasting weather patterns. In fact, wind influences cloud formation by bringing water vapor together. Atmospheric scientists have now found a novel way of ...

Wind speed measurement has long been a cornerstone of meteorological observation, renewable energy assessment and aeronautical research. The performance of anemometers—devices designed to accurately ...

To measure wind speeds, meteorologists use anemometers positioned 10 metres above the ground. Of course, the average Weather Watcher won't have access to this kind of equipment, but that shouldn't ...

From 1 to 5, the numbers we use to categorize hurricanes are ingrained in the minds of millions of Americans from Texas to Maine. But that famed Saffir-Simpson hurricane scale, which only measures ...

Not quite planets and not quite stars, brown dwarfs are cosmic in-betweeners. Learning about their atmospheres could help us understand giant planets around other stars. For the first time, scientists ...

This artist's concept shows a brown dwarf, an object that is at least 13 times the mass of Jupiter but not massive enough to begin nuclear fusion in its core, which is the defining characteristic of a ...
