Bucknell University Professor Katelyn Allers, physics & astronomy, is publishing the first measurement of atmospheric wind speed outside the solar system using a new technique she developed. Her study ...

Using a combination of the Very Large Array (VLA)— a cluster of 28 radio telescopes located in New Mexico — and NASA’s Spitzer space telescope, astronomers have made the first measurement of wind ...

Drones and similar small unmanned aerial vehicles (sUAVs) have seen a massive surge in popularity over the past few years owing to their innovative applications, such as crop monitoring, search and ...

Wind chill sounds pretty self explanatory. If it’s windy, it feels cooler — but, the concept isn’t as simple as you might think. First, let’s start with the history. The idea of wind chill, and the ...

Tuesday's wind chill values ranged from the single digits to below zero. (Copyright 2024 by KSAT - All rights reserved.) Currently, we find ourselves dealing with ...

Not quite planets and not quite stars, brown dwarfs are cosmic in-betweeners. Learning about their atmospheres could help us understand giant planets around other stars. For the first time, scientists ...

Your jaw would likely drop to the floor if you heard the meteorologist on your local news say that tomorrow’s wind speeds could reach 1,450 miles per hour. Say goodbye to your home, car and your ...

Atmospheric scientists have developed an algorithm that uses data from water vapor movements to measure wind. This could help predict extreme events like hurricanes. Wind speed and direction provide ...

Astronomers have used the National Science Foundation's Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) and NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope to make the first measurement of wind speed on a brown dwarf -- an ...

Wind speed measurement has long been a cornerstone of meteorological observation, renewable energy assessment and aeronautical research. The performance of anemometers—devices designed to accurately ...
