The layers of the earth's atmosphere

The layers of air of the earth is called the atmosphere. At different altitudes, it varies in pressure and temperature. Therefore, the atmosphere is divided into five main layers depending on altitude. Author: ZDF/TerraX/Julia Knüppel/Ellen Haas/Malik Alpoguz/Maximilian Mohr Translation and dubbi

The Relationship Between Clouds and Atmospheric Waves

For more Science Videos: https://lt.org/ * Our planet’s cloudiness has been heretofore understood as being controlled by the slowly varying, large scale, atmospheric circulation known as the Hadley cell. In this video, CLAUDIA STEPHAN argues that this model is overly simplistic. * Bringing recent me

What If We Nuked Mars?

What if we nuked mars? I know it seems like a question from far out of left field, but Elon Musk, head of Tesla as well as SpaceX, said in 2015 that nuking mars with thermonuclear weapons would be a great way to heat up the planet so humans could live on it. But would this actually work? And what ar

Jupiter's Hot Spots | NASA Planetary Sciences

Discover dark features in Jupiter's atmosphere called "hot spots," and their connection to large-scale atmospheric waves. David Choi describes his research on hot spots clearings in Jupiter's atmosphere that appear bright in infrared light. Analysis of data from the Cassini mission in 2000 reveal ho

Ozone Hole

It's remarkable to think that a compound renowned for its safety and stability in commercial products could have dramatically compromised the health of our planet, but that's just what chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) has done. This video segment adapted from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center describes how

Earth System: El Nino's Influence on Hurricane Formation

Warm water fuels the tropical storms that ultimately form hurricanes. In this video segment adapted from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, learn how El Niño events—climatic anomalies that occur periodically in the Pacific Ocean—alter the course of atmospheric circulation and lessen hurricane forma

Ocean Temperatures and Climate Patterns

Interactions between Earth's atmosphere and oceans drive weather and climate patterns. Although these interactions and patterns are complex, they are also predictable. This animation from The New Media Studio explains precipitation patterns by illustrating how differences in ocean surface temperatur

Earth System: El Nino

The climatic phenomenon known as El Niño is a disruption of the ocean-atmosphere system in the tropical Pacific that impacts weather and climate around the globe. An El Niño occurs every four to twelve years, causes die-offs of plankton and fish, and affects Pacific jet-stream winds, altering storm
