The legendary El Niño effect causes dramatic shifts of weather, resulting in droughts and floods across the globe. It can all be traced to winds dying down over the Pacific ocean. Earth Science - Weather - Learning Points. El Niño is a...

Dr. Forrester explains how meteorologists use weather patterns and other events to predict the weather.

Throughout this video I say "probability curve" when a statistician would say "probability distribution." I just want to say that I'm aware of this, and that it's a choice I intentionally made because I felt like it made it easier to...

Typhoons that routinely hit Taiwan may increase or exacerbate earthquakes across the island, according to a new study.

About a thousand times a day, thunderstorms fire off fleeting bursts of some of the highest-energy light naturally found on Earth. These events, called terrestrial gamma-ray flashes (TGFs), last less than a millisecond and...

The atmosphere is dynamic and forever changing to maintain balance. The ingredients of air, sunlight and water allow life to exist on Earth, but they also generate calm scenes like rainbows, as a tornado ends. All storms move moisture,...

Rain, snow, hail, ice, and every slushy mix in between make up the precipitation that touches everyone on our planet. But not all places rain equally. Precipitation falls differently in different parts of the world, as you see in NASA's...
