From 2016 to 2019, the world saw record-breaking heat waves, rampant wildfires, and the longest run of category 5 tropical cyclones on record. The number of extreme weather events has been increasing for the last 40 years, and current...

This video discusses the challenges of predicting and forecasting weather, particularly in the context of rapidly changing weather conditions due to global warming. It highlights the shift from traditional weather forecasting methods to...

The Global Fire WEather Database (GFWED) integrates different weather factors influencing the likelihood of a vegetation fire starting and spreading. It is based on the Fire Weather Index (FWI) System, which tracks the...

This video demystifies the concept of climate, differentiating it from weather. It explains that while weather is a short-term atmospheric condition, climate represents long-term patterns in a region. The video covers various climate...

This video explores the daily condition of the Earth's atmosphere. The factors that influence the atmosphere and cause weather are discussed. Special emphasis is given to the global processes that generate weather patterns. Other...

Predicting Weather demonstrates how air pressure, barometric pressure, humidity, wind speed, and precipitation determine the current weather.

From June 2002 to early October 2011, the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer for the Earth Observing System (AMSR-E) on the Aqua satellite provided a wealth of data about the Earth's water cycle. Among the many variables...

This video explores the daily condition of the Earth's atmosphere. The factors that influence the atmosphere and cause weather are discussed. Special emphasis is given to the global processes that generate weather patterns. Other...

NSF-funded small business Arable Labs has developed a crop and weather sensor that delivers real-time, precision weather information straight to the hands of farmers in the field.

It explains the limitations of measures of central tendency and hence the need of measures of dispersion. It also introduces various measures of dispersion.

For five years an international team of experts, led by NASA emeritus glaciologist Robert Bindschadler and funded by the National Science Foundation and NASA, planned and orchestrated a mission to drill through the floating ice shelf...

Measuring actual temperature consists of recording the air temperature from a thermometer that has been kept inside a Stevenson screen or by using any other appropriate instrument. “Feels like temperature,” on the other hand, is a...

Dr. Boyd explains what a thermometer is, the units that temperature is measured in, and how to properly read a thermometer. Then he demonstrates a thermometer in action in hot and cold conditions. Minute 0:30 – Introduction Minute 0:55 –...

This video provides an overview of dust storms, explaining their causes, effects, and hazards. It emphasizes the importance of taking cover quickly during a dust storm and highlights the damage they can cause to structures, equipment,...

It's Kids Academy, and welcome back to our channel! What’s the weather? In today’s technology-laden world we can start the day by simply asking our digital assistants “What’s the weather going to be today?” But weather goes far deeper...

Researchers look under the road to aid self-driving cars

Even the most high-tech vehicles don’t navigate well in rain and

snow

Car companies and researchers have been feverishly working to improve the...

NASA engineer Manuel Vega can see one of the Olympic ski jump towers from the rooftop of the South Korean weather office where he is stationed. Vega is not watching skiers take flight, preparing for the 2018 PyeongChang Winter...

What is the butterfly effect? The Real Butterfly Effect -- Imagine this scenario, a butterfly flutters its wings in Brazil, and it sets off a cascade of events over the course of time, which results in the...

Have you ever wondered why you sweat when you get too hot from running or shiver on a cold winter's day in this video we are going to explain why your body behaves like this. Humans are endotherms and this means we are warm blooded we...

On May 17, 1974, NASA launched the first Synchronous Meteorological Satellite, SMS-1. This was the first satellite designed to monitor meteorological conditions from a geostationary orbit. This kind of orbit allowed it to stay above a...

Researchers estimate ancient temperatures using data from climate proxy records, i.e., indirect methods to measure temperature through natural archives, such as coral skeletons, tree rings, glacial ice cores, and so on. For example, the...
