Stratospheric clouds over the Arctic may explain the differences seen between the polar warming calculated by climate models and actual recordings, find researchers from UNSW Sydney.

Arctic observers got a rare festive treat when rainbow-colored clouds appeared in the skies. So-called polar stratospheric clouds were seen over Norway, Sweden, Finland, Alaska, and Scotland. Some ...

Polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) play a pivotal role in stratospheric chemistry, particularly in the processes that lead to ozone depletion. Formed under extreme cold conditions in the polar ...

“It is therefore necessary to compare the results of different climate models, including polar stratospheric clouds, in order to understand the importance of this feedback on polar amplification ...

Meteorologists are forecasting a final Polar Vortex collapse for mid-March, with experts even expecting to impact to be more powerful than February's disruption. The upcoming event will mark the ...

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

Rare rainbow clouds lit up the Arctic sky for three days in mid-December and the photos are absolutely gorgeous.

What caused these beautiful, iridescent clouds in Sweden? And what makes them so special and rare?

During SOLVE, scientists determined the extent and properties of polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) and the amount of ozone destruction in the Arctic.

Aerosol in the stratosphere has an influence on the occurrence of polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs), where complex chemical processes take place and which are suspected of contributing to the hole ...
