Satellites burning in our atmosphere leave metal particles in the stratosphere, and scientists don't know if these could affect our climate. Business Insider Subscribe Newsletters ...

“We are finding this human-made material in what we consider a pristine area of the atmosphere,” said Dan Cziczo, one of a team of scientists who published a study on these results in the Proceedings ...

Stratosphere (22 Miles hick) Phrases such as "taking off into the stratosphere" make it sound like this must be the highest level of the atmosphere, but it's actually the second lowest.

Researchers and scientists have been studying the stratosphere since the late 1950s, but this specific NOAA effort began in 2020. “There's never been the resources or capability to have globally ...

It may sound like the plot of an old James Bond movie, but an idea to "dehydrate the stratosphere" to slow climate change is real. In a study released Wednesday in Science Advances, researchers ...

Putting aerosols in the stratosphere to reflect sunlight could prevent the shutdown of key ocean currents, but only if it is ...

Pollution in the stratosphere is likely due to the huge amount of space junk we have in orbit falling back into the atmosphere one by one.

This interest arises because the cooling of the upper air also causes it to contract. The sky is falling — literally. The depth of the stratosphere has diminished by about 1 percent, or 1,300 ...

At the top of the atmosphere, it might have a warming effect 500 times greater than the same amount at ground-level, according to a 2022 study. Effects on climate change might be indirect and are ...

We know this because every once in a while it happens naturally. When Indonesia’s Mount Tambora erupted in 1815, it ejected so much dust and sulfur dioxide so high it reached the stratosphere ...
