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 ...

Want to measure wind speeds? Apparently there may soon be an app for that. Mariah Power, along with digital design company Create with Context, have announced Windspire me!, an iPhone app that ...

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 ...

Astronomers have used the National Science Foundation's Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) and NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope to make the first measurement of wind speed on a brown dwarf -- an ...

It all starts with the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. This is a wind scale from 1 to 5 that is based on the maximum sustained wind speed measured within a hurricane. No other factors, such as ...

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 ...

In 1934, a "Big Wind" whipped the Mount Washington Observatory in New Hampshire at 231 mph (372 km/h). In 1985, a microburst crashed a Delta Airlines flight into the tarmac. And in 2017, Hurricane ...

On Earth, we have weather because we have an atmosphere. Electromagnetic radiation from the sun heats up molecules and gases in the atmosphere, which causes the dynamic weather systems that cover the ...
