Mars Dust Storms May Be Predictable Based on Surface Heating Patterns
- Thursday December 12, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
A new study suggests warm days on Mars often precede dust storms, with researchers analysing data from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The findings show 78% of storms correlate with increased solar heating, particularly in northern regions of the planet. Scientists have developed an algorithm predicting certain storm types with 64% confidence, ...

Arctic Ocean Likely to Experience Ice-Free Day by 2027, Study Warns
- Thursday December 5, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
A study published in Nature Communications predicts the Arctic Ocean could face its first ice-free day as early as 2027, marking a critical environmental milestone. Conducted using 11 climate models and 366 simulations, the research highlights the urgent need for emission reductions. The loss of sea ice in the Arctic exacerbates global warming thro...

NASA's Twin Mini Satellites Captures Far-Infrared Radiation from Polar Regions
- Thursday December 5, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
NASA’s PREFIRE mission, launched in 2024, is utilizing CubeSats to capture groundbreaking data on far-infrared radiation emitted from polar regions. These measurements, which track heat escaping from the Arctic and Antarctic, provide critical insights into Earth’s energy balance, a key component in understanding climate change. Despite encounte...

Ocean Acidification Study: Carbon Emissions Driving Deeper Chemical Changes in Oceans
- Monday December 2, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
A study in Science Advances by researchers from ETH Zurich highlights the escalating depth of ocean acidification, driven by carbon emissions since the industrial era. By 2014, acidification had penetrated to an average depth of 1,000 metres, with some regions affected as deep as 1,500 metres. Using a 3D model, the study explores the altered marine...

Increasing Global Heatwave Hotspots Defy Climate Model Predictions
- Wednesday November 27, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Heatwave hotspots exceeding climate models are emerging globally, with regions like northwestern Europe, central China, and the U.S. Pacific Northwest witnessing record-breaking extremes. Recent findings reveal jet stream wobbles, vegetation drying, and atmospheric patterns driving these anomalies. Notable impacts include wildfires, crop failures, ...
