To understand the persistent thick atmosphere on Saturn’s largest moon, SwRI worked with the Carnegie Institution for Science Laboratory to create conditions mimicking those at Titan’s rocky core.

Scientists have performed laboratory experiments to better understand how Saturn's moon Titan can maintain its unique nitrogen-rich atmosphere. Titan is the second largest moon in our solar system and ...

Evidence has emerged that the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) may be predictable on decadal timescales, which may greatly benefit society given the significant climate impacts that accompany the NAO.

Soil moisture plays a vital role in the climate system. The exchange of water and heat between land and atmosphere depends on the amount of soil moisture. Soil moisture impacts the surface energy ...

A program focused on key storm systems, known as atmospheric rivers, that provides students with hands-on research experience, launched its second season in January. Valparaiso University balloon ...

Atmospheric rivers are long, narrow corridors of concentrated water vapor in the atmosphere that transport vast amounts of moisture from the tropics toward mid-latitude and polar regions. These ...
