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 ...

Each week meteorologist Jerry Jackson answers student’s questions in the Atmosphere Academy. This week’s question was asked in a different way than usual, so we’re going to answer it the same way: in ...

Atmospheric scientists have developed an algorithm that uses data from water vapor movements to measure wind. This could help predict extreme events like hurricanes. Wind speed and direction provide ...

Houston is quite familiar with tropical cyclones. Within the past couple of years, we have seen multiple systems affect our area, such as Hurricanes Beryl and Harvey, along with tropical storms like ...

Drones and similar small unmanned aerial vehicles (sUAVs) have seen a massive surge in popularity over the past few years owing to their innovative applications, such as crop monitoring, search and ...

Martian landers have been able capture measurements of wind speeds -- some gauging the cooling rate of heated materials when winds blow over them, others using cameras to image 'tell-tales' that blow ...

I'll be honest with all of you. I hate wind. It drives me absolutely crazy. For me, it doesn't matter if it's a sustained wind or a gust of wind, it's all the same. But the truth is, there is a very ...

Wind speed and direction provide clues for forecasting weather patterns. In fact, wind influences cloud formation by bringing water vapor together. Atmospheric scientists have now found a novel way of ...
