NASA Mission To Study What Disrupts Radio Waves
2013-05-10 09:22:29| rfglobalnet Home Page
A NASA-funded sounding rocket mission will launch from an atoll in the Pacific in the next few weeks to help scientists better understand and predict the electrical storms in Earth's upper atmosphere These storms can interfere with satellite communication and global positioning signals.

Africa: Rain Will Get Extreme Due to Global Warming, Says Nasa Study
2013-05-07 09:59:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New Vision: A NASA-led study provides new evidence that global warming may increase the risk for extreme rainfall and drought. The study shows for the first time how rising carbon dioxide concentrations could affect the entire range of rainfall types on Earth. Analysis of computer simulations from 14 climate models indicates wet regions of the world, such as the equatorial Pacific Ocean and Asian monsoon regions, will see increases in heavy precipitation because of warming resulting from projected increases...

NASA: Warming Climate Likely Means More Floods, Droughts
2013-05-03 20:24:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Public Radio: The Earth's wettest regions are likely to get wetter while the most arid will get drier due to warming of the atmosphere caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide, according to a new NASA analysis of more than a dozen climate models. Scientists ran simulations of 14 different models, starting with CO2 concentrations at about 280 parts per million, which is similar to preindustrial levels but well below the 400 parts per million today. The amount of carbon dioxide was then bumped up by 1 percent...
