NASA's IMERG calculated rainfall of Tropical Cyclone 03S

Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for GPM (IMERG) data were used to show rainfall that fell near tropical cyclone 03S.

Earth's orbital variations and sea ice synch glacial periods

Using a set of computer simulations, the researchers show that two periodic variations in Earth's orbit combine on a 100,000-year cycle to cause an expansion…

Globe-trotting pollutants raise some cancer risks 4 times higher than predicted

A new way of looking at how pollutants ride through the atmosphere has quadrupled the estimate of global lung cancer risk from a pollutant caused by…

Antarctic bottom waters freshening at unexpected rate

In the cold depths along the sea floor, Antarctic Bottom Waters are part of a global circulatory system, supplying oxygen-, carbon- and nutrient-rich waters to…

Knocking on wood in the deep sea: Sunken logs form diverse and dynamic habitats
