"Dust devils make the normally invisible wind visible," explains Valentin. "By measuring their speed and direction of travel, we have started mapping the wind all over Mars's surface. This was ...

Spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is a microwave sensor that captures tropical cyclones (TCs) with high spatial resolution. Based on three idealized TC parametric wind models, we provide a ...

Current–wind interaction modulates air–sea momentum and turbulent heat fluxes, which are critical in the energy cycle of tropical cyclones (TCs). However, the effects of the surface currents on ...

Mars is cold, parched, and extremely dusty. Powerful gusts of wind kick up literal tons of reddish dust that often takes the form of whorls known as dust devils. These winds also shroud the planet in ...
