A hailstone of more than four inches is “certainly very large,” says Matthew Kumjian, a meteorologist at Penn State University.
Rachel Gutierrez, a graduate student at Penn State and co-author of the paper, found a connection between a storm updraft’s rotational velocity, or how fast it is spinning, and larger hail size.
A good grip can mean the difference between life and death for lizards in a hurricane.
Michael Mann has been elected to the National Academy of Sciences.
After tornadoes hit his southwestern Pennsylvania hometown in 1998, 9-year-old Kyle Imhoff learned a few things. Weather events could be very dangerous — but also fascinating.
The American Meteorological Society (AMS) recently created a national award in honor of Penn State meteorology alumnus and weather pioneer Warren Washington.
Penn State researchers found that a common tool used to understand carbon dioxide fluxes, or how the gas moves between the atmosphere and ecosystems, may be overconfident because of uncertainties in the release of carbon dioxide by the combustion of fossil fuels.
A Penn State led-effort to understand greenhouse sources and sinks finds that twice as much methane is seeping into the atmosphere than the Environmental Protection Agency estimates.
Congratulations Kelly.
Snowfall trends in Washington, and other East Coast cities, are leading scientists to this conclusion: Global warming, may paradoxically be contributing to an uptick in big East Coast snowstorms.
Every minute counts when it comes to predicting severe weather.
For the first time, meteorologists have observed persistent drizzle under conditions where snow would be expected.
Equilibrium climate sensitivity may be underestimated in individual climate models, according to a team of climate scientists.
Pennsylvania’s ecosystem has already been permanently altered due to climate change.
Meteorology students relied on Penn State resources to get company off the ground.
Michael Mann, a professor of atmospheric science at Penn State University, tells Inverse increased analysis is only the beginning.
“This was an extremely terrible scenario for a landfalling hurricane,” said Anthony Didlake Jr., an assistant professor of meteorology at Penn State.
Our atmosphere behaves like a fluid, changing its flow and direction when it runs into an obstacle.
Using a new approach developed at Penn State’s Center for Advanced Data Assimilation and Predictability Techniques, researchers were better able to predict models for forecasting Hurricane Harvey.
Fuqing Zhang, distinguished professor of meteorology in the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences at Penn State, died Friday, July 19.
"The scientific community needs access to technological resources that can scale up to meet the ever-increasing complex challenges that researchers take on every day," said Jenni Evans, director of ICS and professor of meteorology and atmospheric science.
Dr. Gregory Jenkins, professor of meteorology, serves as the faculty adviser for The Penn State EnvironMentors chapter of high school students.
Penn State meteorology and atmospheric science students recently appeared before local government officials to present findings from a class study of greenhouse gas leaks around the State College area.
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Chris Forest, professor of climate dynamics at Penn State, has been named a Senior Fellow for Project Drawdown.
A team of Pennsylvania State University researchers are the first to directly use the satellite radiance data from the GOES-16 satellite.
Warren Washington, who made history in meteorology, honored at Innovation Park site
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — IBM will donate a system based on the technology in the world’s most powerful supercomputers
What's the ultimate limit at which we can predict day-to-day weather in the future," said Fuqing Zhang, distinguished professor of meteorology and atmospheric science.
Harnessing the power of artificial intelligence
The North Atlantic warming hole (NAWH). "It's called a hole because there is a lack of warming," said Melissa Gervais, assistant professor of meteorology and atmospheric science, Penn State
