CLOUDLAB: Cloud research in a natural laboratory It’s murky grey, windy, and freezing when we head out into the countryside of the Swiss pre-Alps. We are looking for low hanging clouds to serve as our natural laboratory. Wintertime low stratus cloud...

Have you ever wondered how rain forms in a cloud? Here is a group of scientists who spend their winters below a murky, grey cloud to put a spotlight on the processes leading up to rain or snowfall. #cloudlav #swissalpes #scicomm #eth

China’s Hainan Unlocks Mysteries of Heat and Sodium Transport 80–100 km Above Earth When we gaze at the sky, our eyes often linger on blue horizons, floating clouds, or twinkling stars—rarely do we think about the critical processes unfolding 80 to 100 km above ground. This region, k...

Ever wonder what’s happening 80 km above Earth? 🛰️

Scientists in Hainan are using advanced sodium lidars to track how heat and sodium behave in the mesopause. New data reveals how gravity waves modulate our atmosphere's edge.

Why “Perfect” Infrared Spectrometers Are a Myth – and Why That Matters for Atmospheric Measurements Modern atmospheric science relies on precise and stable measurements to understand how the composition of the atmosphere evolves over time. From air quality to climate-relevant trace gases, long-term ...

Why it is important to scrutinize our measurements: Read upon the work by @gezahegnsufa.bsky.social and how they improved agreements between their observations and simulations!

New blog post is up! Read about @ehsansci.bsky.social community project and why marine clouds are so important for our climate and how to study them in more detail! #scicomm

Is How We View the Atmosphere Too Dry? Many people think about air as a fixed mix of gases like nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide (CO2). But the main reason the composition of air changes—water vapour—tends to get overlooked. Scientists...

Why does life struggle in the heat?
During heatwaves, plant pores become miniature steam rooms. This extreme humidity dilutes the CO2​ plants need for photosynthesis, explaining why they keep losing water.By treating vapour as a true part of air, we finally see why!

Have you ever seen a weather forecast map that looked like it was wearing a striped sweater? This isn’t a new fashion trend in meteorology. For model developers, these unexpected stripes are a sign that something has gone wrong in the complex digital engine that powers our forecasts. Recently...

We like our Christmas sweaters 🎄 as much as our striped ones, but our weather forecast shouldn’t be a new knit version! Jiong Chen from CEMC and his colleagues just published a fix for this issue. Here you can read his blog post on it blogs.egu.eu/divisions/as...

Harnessing Machine Learning to Advance Tropospheric Ozone Science Machine learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) offer powerful tools to address long-standing scientific challenges. At the molecular scale, we’ve seen projects like AlphaFold discover unknown ...
