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 ...

The planet Mars has several similarities with Earth, including extinct volcanoes, dry lake beds, and active dust storms, the last of which is governed by the Red Planet’s prevailing winds. However, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Your jaw would likely drop to the floor if you heard the meteorologist on your local news say that tomorrow’s wind speeds could reach 1,450 miles per hour. Say goodbye to your home, car and your ...

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 ...

The Army wants mini wind-detectors to help snipers measure crosswinds as far as 1,500 meters away, contracting documents reveal. These electronic devices could serve as aids to help snipers fire on ...

Understanding the different ways wind can influence a bullet's flight — and knowing which influences you can ignore — is the ...

"Wind turbines oscillate with displacements of up to a meter in magnitude, even at normal wind speeds. This represents a large load for the material, which can lead to damage and worst case to failure ...

Measurement of volcanic gases is critical for both public safety and understanding volcanic activity — and everything we measure relies on the wind. The USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory currently ...

In outdoor sports, athletes must often brave the elements to perform at a high level, and track and field is no different. On the track, the biggest elemental challenge to athletes is the wind as it ...
