Solar wind speeds remain elevated as an incoming coronal mass ejection approaches Earth, with forecasts indicating increased ...

This fall, NASA scientist Kris Bedka flew into Hurricane Helene to test a device that uses lasers to create ultradetailed wind measurements. It could be the key to unlocking better storm predictions.

The trade winds are permanent east-to-west prevailing winds that flow in Earth's equatorial region, blowing mainly from the northeast in the Northern Hemisphere and from the southeast in the Southern ...

What is wind? Where does it come from, and why does it blow? Why are storm winds so strong? Are winds on other planets like they are on Earth? Read on for answers to these "blue-sky" questions and ...

What can sand dunes on Earth and Mars teach us about the latter’s wind behavior and atmosphere? This is what a recently awarded NASA grant hopes to address as a PhD student at Texas A&M University ...

Research evaluates the likelihood of debris from interstellar object 3I/ATLAS reaching Earth, analyzing gas, dust and larger ...

The simplest definition of wind is air in motion. Wind is generated by uneven pressure in the atmosphere, which is caused by uneven heating by the Sun, land, and oceans. The air closest to the ground ...
