For this episode we wanted to see where we are in terms of “business as usual,” and if we are still headed towards an apocalypse of sorts. Or if, perhaps, all of the technological innovations in renewables and EVs along with new climate...

As our seas rise and hurricanes get stronger, it is important that we understand more about storm surge – the most dangerous part of a hurricane. In this episode of Weathered we tell the story behind the best video we’ve ever seen of...

Flooding is getting worse, and not just from hurricanes or rising tides, but from increased heavy rainfall. In this episode, we dive into the changing landscape of flood hazards. First, we journey to New York, to visit Hoboken, New...

Climate Change is increasing the frequency and severity of natural disasters all around the world. And in the United States, more and more people seem to be moving to the places that are projected to be most impacted by climate change,...

With the scale of ecology now understood, we can start to look at one of the most important concepts in ecology, climate. What is climate? How does it differ from weather? How does climate change over time and why? Let's do a deep dive now!

For their size and impact, hurricanes are often called the greatest storms on Earth. They expend a tremendous amount of energy through the water cycle, and through wind, to maintain the balance of the atmosphere. Known by different names...

Weather balloons are launched around the world, twice a day, at the same time to gather and share data about the atmosphere. The balloons carry an instrument called a radiosonde which collects information. The data helps to create better...

The rocket part crashing toward the Moon is not the upper stage of a SpaceX Falcon 9, it is most likely to be part of the Long March 3C rocket that launched China's moonbound Chang'e 5-T1 mission.

The Gulf of Mexico could have a dead zone almost 8,000 square miles in size due to this year’s record-breaking rainfall in the American Midwest, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

A history of the 1969, Category 5 hurricane, that struck the Mississippi coast.

Incredibly, it now seems possible that a small sailing boat can survive a trip through hurricane-strength winds and waves.

The rare animal glows delightfully and was found almost 4km deep on a deep-sea shelf called the Aricebo amphitheater.

Every summer, millions of tons of dust from the Sahara desert move into the Atlantic and travel westward. Here, you'll see it on satellite.

Precipitation (falling rain and snow) is our fresh water reservoir in the sky and is fundamental to life on Earth. This video shows the most detailed and worldwide view of rain and snowfall ever created and uses satellite measurements...

An international team will explore the depths of a massive undersea cavern called the Green Banana off the coast of Florida.

The HIWRAP is the High-Altitude Imaging Wind and Rain Airborne Profiler, a "conically scanning" Doppler radar, meaning it scans in a cone-shaped manner. Wind measurements are crucial for understanding and forecasting tropical storms...

Mangroves are resilient trees tolerant of salt water and high wind and wave energy, which is why they can typically withstand hurricanes in tropical and subtropical environments. In 2017, NASA scientists noticed mangrove forest die-off...

Sea level rise is often spoken of in future terms, including projections for impacts we’re likely to see by the end of the century. But in many communities in the U.S., sea level rise is already a factor in people’s lives in the form of...

GOES is a series of weather satellites providing continuous delivery of real time data helping meteorologists predict weather on Earth with great accuracy. The GOES satellites also look at the Sun and send critical data to space...

In 2017, we have seen four Atlantic storms rapidly intensify with three of those storms - Hurricane Harvey, Irma and Maria - making landfall. When hurricanes intensify a large amount in a short period, scientists call this...

GOES-P is set to launch in 2010. It will be the last in an improved series of satellites that has helped forecast the development of severe weather for 35 years. Operated by NOAA and launched by NASA, GOES-P will continue providing...

Our ability to predict the weather, though still imperfect, would astound our ancestors. And decades of improvements in weather satellite technology, driven by teams of fiercely dedicated scientists and engineers, have made that...

Front-line responders do the heavy lifting when it comes to fighting and managing wildfires, but they’re often helped by the view from higher up. Each year, a coordinated effort from US Forest Service aircraft teams and...

The Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) have the ability to constantly oversee a large area of the Earth and send real time data to users. GOES sends not only weather data but it also watches the sun continuously...
