On Jan. 31, 1958, Explorer 1 became the first satellite launched by the United States. Its primary science instrument, a cosmic ray detector, was designed to measure the radiation environment in Earth ...

Accurately predicting regional climate—especially the East Asian summer monsoon—remains one of the toughest challenges in climate science today. While recent generations of global models, like those ...

For 42 years, NASA satellites have tracked how sunlight powers Earth’s climate. The long record is revealing subtle shifts that could reshape climate predictions. These findings are adding new layers ...

Current global climate models (GCMs) support with high confidence the view that rising greenhouse gases and other anthropogenic forcings account for nearly all observed global surface warming—slightly ...

How do you measure climate change? One way is by recording temperatures in different places over a long period of time. While this works well, natural variation can make it harder to see longer-term ...

By Denise Lineberry NASA's Earth Radiation Budget Satellite (ERBS), a part of the NASA's three satellite Earth Radiation Budget ...
