Here's a conundrum: the same aerosol pollutants that harm human health also help cool the climate, says atmospheric scientist Sarah J. Doherty. Is there a way to clean up the air without warming the planet? Exploring the unintended...

The COVID-19 pandemic hasn’t just affected us. It’s also affected the weather. And this turns out to be a lucky natural experiment to help us understand how much we influence the world around us.

Howcast - Everyone's seen the streaky, orange results of fake tans gone bad. Here's how to avoid becoming a tangerine-tinted mess and get a flattering, bronze glow.

Mistaking the Fixies' footprints for cockroaches, Elisa decides she needs to protect the laboratory with bug spray. Worried the spray could kill them, Simka, Nolik and Fire secretely enlist Nolik's harmless pet spider, Buggy, to convince...

Take in a deep breath of salty ocean air and more than likely you're also breathing in naturally occurring sea spray aerosols. But, there's much more in each of those tiny bursting ""bubbles"" than salt. They're also bursting with ocean...

How can more powerful super computers help with the research of cloud activity and weather forecasting? How to identify the different types of weather clouds and the clouds that might have precipitation or rain?

As we fly around with NASA pilots, we’ll explore Earth’s air space with scientists Annmarie Eldering and Armin Sorooshian -- from wispy clouds high above, to tiny particles that make up air pollution.

Climate is the average type of weather that a region has. It is defined by temperature and moisture. Proximity to oceans and large mountain ranges defines climate too, depending upon the prevailing wind. While climates change over...

An aerosol is a mist of liquid particles. Aerosol sprays are used in a variety of products from spray paint to sunscreen. Learn how the aerosol system works and about some potential dangers of aerosol spray.

Glory is a unique research satellite designed to orbit the Earth and achieve two major goals. Glory's first goal is to collect data on the properties of aerosols and black carbon in the Earth's atmosphere and climate system; its second...

NASA Goddard is preparing to demonstrate for the fist time in space, a 3-wavelength, laser remote sensing instrument. The Cloud-Aerosol Transport System or CATS will measure clouds and aerosols in the Earth's atmosphere. This...

Satellites, balloon-borne instruments and ground-based devices make 30 million observations of the atmosphere each day. Yet these measurements still give an incomplete picture of the complex interactions within Earth's atmosphere....

What are aerosols and will they warm or cool the planet?

Some 239 scientists in 32 countries say the coronavirus is an airborne disease that can linger in tiny droplets to infect people indoors, according to a report in the New York Times.
