Penn State experts in meteorology and atmospheric science made their way down the nation’s eastern coast in June 2024 in search of corona discharges, a long-hypothesized atmospheric weather phenomenon where miniscule pulses of electricity dance at the tips of tree leaves, causing the canopy to glow in the ultraviolet (UV). They found them and captured the phenomenon on film for the first time.

Delving into how gas mixtures behave under different conditions is essential for advancing environmental and industrial technologies. This exploration highlights the subtle shifts between diffusion and convective mixing in gas mixtures, providing pivotal insights for their practical handling. Diffusion, where gases mix due to concentration gradients, and convective mixing, involving collective ga…

A project led by the University of Washington to better understand our atmosphere’s complexity is a finalist for NASA’s next generation of Earth-observing satellites. The space agency this week announced the projects that will each receive $5 million to advance to the next stage and conduct a one-year concept study. STRIVE seeks to better understand the troposphere that we inhabit and the stratos…
