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 ...

Exoplanets have a remarkable diversity of planetary types, including a class known as ultrahot Jupiters. The similarity to Jupiter in the Solar System is that they are gas giants. However, they are ...

Hereon researchers simulate long-term effects of wind and tidal wakes caused by wind turbines in the North Sea for the first time. Offshore wind turbines change the air and ocean currents. The rotors ...

The urgent fight to protect Australia's iconic Great Barrier Reef from disastrous mass coral bleaching events has been given a significant boost, with new research from Monash University identifying ...

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 ...

Offshore wind turbines change the air and ocean currents. The rotors extract wind energy and influence surface currents, while the turbine pillars underwater act as obstacles and slow down tidal ...
