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 ...

Bucknell University Professor Katelyn Allers, physics & astronomy, is publishing the first measurement of atmospheric wind speed outside the solar system using a new technique she developed. Her study ...

Wind speed measurement has long been a cornerstone of meteorological observation, renewable energy assessment and aeronautical research. The performance of anemometers—devices designed to accurately ...

MILWAUKEE -- Have you ever wondered how weather works? Professor Maria and Dr. Koco from Mad Science join Real Milwaukee with some experiments that can teach kids about wind speed and water cycles.

NASA has announced a groundbreaking measurement of a celestial object called a brown dwarf star. A brown dwarf is described as an in-betweener that's not quite a star and not quite a planet. These ...

Each week meteorologist Jerry Jackson answers student’s questions in the Atmosphere Academy. This week’s question was asked in a different way than usual, so we’re going to answer it the same way: in ...

CINCINNATI (WKRC) - On days like this when the wind chill get to sub-freezing temperatures, it's not really the air temperature that is the issue, it's the wind. And how meteorologists measure the ...

Engineers used to rely on meteorological towers to measure wind speed. But “met towers” only give you data for one location; they don’t tell you anything about wind velocities around a valley or along ...

Astronomers have used the National Science Foundation's Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) and NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope to make the first measurement of wind speed on a brown dwarf -- an ...

This artist's concept shows a brown dwarf, an object that is at least 13 times the mass of Jupiter but not massive enough to begin nuclear fusion in its core, which is the defining characteristic of a ...
