Boundary of Heliosphere Mapped for the First Time
For the first time, the boundary of the heliosphere has been mapped, giving scientists a better understanding of how solar and interstellar winds interact.
Meteorologists Develop a Multivariable Integrated Evaluation Tool
In the era of big data, one may often need to quantitatively measure the agreement between two multi-dimensional datasets, which could either be a vector field or a combination of multiple scalar and vector fields.
Scientists Expose the Cold Heart of Landfalling Hurricanes
Hurricanes are powerful weather events born in the open sea. Fueled by moisture from the warm ocean, hurricanes can intensify in strength, move vast distances across the water, and ultimately unleash their destruction upon land.
Trees, Plants and Soil Could Help Cities Cut Their Carbon Footprints — But Mainstreaming Their Use Requires Better Data
Cities and nations around the globe are shooting for carbon neutrality, with some experts already talking about the need to ultimately reach carbon negativity.
