A new study has shown that even the largest lakes on K’gari Island could disappear under certain climate conditions. The fate of these bodies of water depends not only on the amount of rainfall, but also on wind direction and how rain is distributed, making their future uncertain as the climate continues to change.
A new study has shown that the atmospheric currents on Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune can be explained by a single physical mechanism—deep convection—rather than differences in their internal structures. This universal approach will help scientists study similar processes on other planets and stars.
New measurements from a NASA probe have revealed that Jupiter is slightly smaller and more flattened than previously believed. This data will help scientists study the planet's atmosphere and internal structure with greater accuracy.
