Researchers have developed a novel method to detect and study how ice forms in mixed-phase clouds, significantly boosting scientists' ability to forecast weather and model climate change. Subscribe to ...

Bright patches of light, known as sun dogs, appear when sunlight bends through hexagonal ice crystals in high-altitude clouds ...

Pilots over the Himalayas sometimes witness three suns due to sundogs, an optical phenomenon caused by sunlight refracting ...

As surface air temperatures rise above 0°C, snow and ice cover melts, resulting in the appearance of snow/ice-free barren and vegetated areas. These newly exposed surfaces release increased amounts of ...

FARGO — Frost and snow are made of ice but form as intricate crystals, whereas ice that forms on a lake or a puddle is more of a hard blob of water. Impurities aside, water is made of water and ice ...

If you look up at the sky on a clear day, chances are you'll notice thin, white clouds—also known as contrails—following ...

Some parts of the U.S. see well over 100 inches (2.5 meters) of snow per year. Edoardo Frola/Moment Open via Getty Images The thought of snow can conjure up images of powdery slopes, days out of ...

A study found that dust from snow- and ice-free areas of the Arctic could be an important contributor to climate change in the region. Higher levels of dust help promote the formation of ice crystals ...

Water frozen in the darkness of space doesn't appear to behave the way we thought. A new research effort using computer simulations and experiments to explore the most common form water takes in the ...
