The Fundamental Water Cycle Process Water moves between pools through evaporation into water vapor, transport through the atmosphere, condensation to form clouds, and returns to the surface as ...

Marine bacteria carried by warm and moisture-laden atmospheric rivers contribute to the formation of ice clouds at unexpectedly high temperatures in high-latitude regions, research from Japan suggests ...

A new study found tiny microplastics — sized between 7.1 to 94.6 micrometers — in cloud water collected from high-altitude summits in Japan. The researchers suggest that microplastics could therefore ...

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Early Wednesday morning, parts of the Columbia area saw rain to start the day with scattered showers and storms. This made for a rainy morning commute for many individuals. As the ...
