The mysterious origin of an impressive cloud disturbance on Venus has now been revealed by a team including the University of Tokyo. Researchers used numerical models to show that an enormous ...

Venus has long fascinated scientists with itsthick clouds, extreme heat, and mysterious weather systems. But a new discovery, published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, has brought us ...

Atmospheric waves—encompassing gravity waves, planetary waves and tides—originate in the lower and middle atmosphere and propagate upward into the ionosphere, where they modulate winds, temperatures ...

Rossby waves are fundamental components of the midlatitude atmospheric circulation, arising from the conservation of vorticity on a rotating planet. They appear as large-scale undulations in the jet ...
