LiDAR and radar have become widely accessible sensing tools for creating 3D representations and designs. Recently, a new method of remotely measuring wind speed has been developed, potentially opening ...

Wind speed and direction provide clues for forecasting weather patterns. In fact, wind influences cloud formation by bringing water vapor together. Atmospheric scientists have now found a novel way of ...

Researchers have developed an algorithm for measuring wind via water vapor. Wind speed and direction provide clues for forecasting weather patterns. In fact, wind influences cloud formation by ...

Since last fall, NASA scientists have flown an advanced 3D Doppler wind lidar instrument across the United States to collect nearly 100 hours of data—including a flight through a hurricane. The goal?

COMSTOCK PARK, Mich. — Meteorologists all over the world use a wide variety of instruments to measure things like temperature, air pressure, humidity and a host of other variables. In Tuesday's ...

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 ...

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 ...

Martian landers have been able capture measurements of wind speeds -- some gauging the cooling rate of heated materials when winds blow over them, others using cameras to image 'tell-tales' that blow ...

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 ...
