Totality: An Introduction and Narrative
To an ‘eclipse virgin’, the intensity of passion that eclipse chasers experience can be difficult to understand. The personal experience of totality...

Tornadoes and Other Whirling Winds
If the reader will excuse some wanderings down memory lane, let me recall an early spring afternoon when the writer was just a child living with his...

Thunderstorms: Trace Species Generators
In the upper troposphere, both natural and anthropogenic processes control the budget of nitric oxide (NO), a highly reactive and pollutant trace...

Through a glass, darkly
The study of the cosmic microwave background radiation tells us that 23% of the total mass–energy inventory of today’s Universe is in the form of...

Earth’s Restless Envelope
Clouds are the bane of astronomers, yet we must admit that they can be things of great beauty. Perhaps familiarity breeds contempt, but just imagine...

Tracking a Ulysses High-latitude ICME Event Back to Its Solar Origins
High-latitude interplanetary mass ejections (ICMEs) observed beyond 1 AU are not studied very often. They are useful for improving our understanding...

Lightning’s Gleaming Rod
An active thunderstorm is one of the most awe-inspiring and spectacular sights that we can witness. What pyrotechnic display can compete with it?...

Reflection and Ducting of Gravity Waves Inside the Sun
Internal gravity waves excited by overshoot at the bottom of the convection zone can be influenced by rotation and by the strong toroidal magnetic...
