Measurements from a NASA Langley Research Center satellite instrument dispute a recent theory that proposes that clouds in the Tropics might cool the Earth and counteract predictions of global warming ...

For much of his career, George Tselioudis, a researcher at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, has analyzed decades of satellite observations to understand where clouds occur, whether their ...

ABSTRACT Simulations of climate change have yet to reach a consensus on the sign and magnitude of the changes in physical properties of marine boundary layer clouds. In this study, the authors analyze ...

Thick cloud cover tends to reflect a large amount of incoming solar energy back to space (blue/green/white image), but at the same time, reduce the amount of outgoing heat lost to space ...

Jill Smith, a Straughn Elementary School teacher, has teamed up with NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, Va., to provide scientific observations that will help validate some of their most ...

ABSTRACT The physical and radiative properties of tropical deep convective systems for the period from January to August 1998 are examined with the use of Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System ...
