Researchers have generated the first dataset of water flow beneath the entire Antarctic Ice Sheet, which will lead to more ...

So-called Rayleigh–Bloch waves can release enormous amount of energy that can damage technical systems under certain ...

Ever wonder why the sky is blue, vs. say red, orange or purple? An effect called Rayleigh Scattering is part of the reason we ...

On a clear, sunny day, the sky above us often glows a brilliant blue, a sight so commonplace that many of us rarely stop to question why. While this natural phenomenon might seem simple to explain, ...

That process is what physicists call scattering. It was around 1870 when the British physicist John William Strutt, better known as Lord Rayleigh, first found an explanation for why the sky is blue: ...

The annual variation of the view geometry (scattering angle) is illustrated in Figure 2. For most pixels, excluding those near the edge of disk at extreme view angles, the scattering angle approaches ...

More and more, people are experiencing the climate crisis through water. Water cycle patterns are disrupted meaning rainfall or snowmelt arrives either too early or too late or with too big or too ...
