A new study uncovers a critical challenge in accurately classifying precipitation as rain or snow using surface weather data. Accurately identifying precipitation phase is critical for weather ...

Surface temperature is the temperature on the ground level, which often determines when roads freeze, helping explain why icy ...

It may sparkle in the sun, but the ocean's surface is a dynamic thermometer for our planet. The sea surface temperature (SST) is measured by satellites and buoys in the ocean, to give the most ...

As global temperatures rise, so do sea surface temperatures (SSTs), and that’s having a direct impact on hurricane activity. Hurricanes are essentially heat engines, fueled by the warmth of the ocean.
