Scientists at the U.S. National Science Foundation National Center for Atmospheric Research (NSF NCAR) are proposing a sensor network called the LOwer Troposphere Observing System (LOTOS). LOTOS aims to improve observations of the troposphere, the lowest region of Earth's atmosphere, by simultaneously sampling the atmosphere horizontally and vertically.

Scientists are successfully producing very fine-scale simulations of the turbulent winds of landfalling hurricanes.

Like the Earth, the Sun likely has swirling polar vortices, according to new research led by the U.S. National Science Foundation National Center for Atmospheric Research (NSF NCAR). But unlike on Earth, the formation and evolution of these vortices are driven by magnetic fields.

More research is needed to strengthen the resilience of next-generation offshore wind turbines against extreme weather conditions.
