In the first study of its kind, researchers have linked a natural global climate cycle to periodic increases in warfare.

World War II bombing raids offer new insight into the effects of aviation on climate
Climate researchers have turned to the Allied bombing raids of the Second World War for a unique opportunity to study the effect thousands of aircraft had on the English climate at a time when civilian aviation remained rare. The study reveals how civilian and military records can help assess the impact of modern aviation on the climate today.

Fewer rain storms across southern Australia with global warming
Decreasing autumn and winter rainfall over southern Australia has been attributed to a 50-year decrease in the average intensity of storms in the region -- a trend which is forecast to continue for another 50 years.

Aircraft influence the local weather, new study shows; Inadvertent cloud seeding can increase precipitation around major airports
As airplanes fly through the clouds, they often punch holes through the ones that contain supercooled water, or water that has remained in liquid form below its freezing point. Now, researchers say that this phenomenon can lead to increased snowfall around the world's major airports.

Researchers improving GPS accuracy in the third dimension
Researchers who are working to fix global positioning system (GPS) errors have devised software to take a more accurate measurement of altitude -- particularly in mountainous areas. The software is still under development, but in initial tests it enabled centimeter-scale GPS positioning -- including altitude -- as often as 97 percent of the time.

Average U.S. temperature increases by 0.5 degrees F
According to the 1981-2010 normals to be released by the U.S. National Climatic Data Center, temperatures across the United States were on average, approximately 0.5 degree F warmer than the 1971-2000 time period. Normals serve as a 30 year baseline average of important climate variables that are used to understand average climate conditions at any location and serve as a consistent point of reference. The new normals update the 30-year averages of climatological variables, including average temperature and precipitation for more than 7,500 locations across the United States.

(We Love) Earth Day
Earth Day is April 22nd. It is a day to celebrate the environment and our home planet. Along with the celebrations, the Environmental Protection Agency is accepting photo submissions via Flickr for it's State of the Environment Photo collection. The collection originally started in the 1970's as a way to document the changing landscape of the world. The EPA is now going to display newly submitted photographs to add to the archive. Comparison of the 1970's versus modern photography may have striking details to explain the state of the environment. The intent is to show the beauty of the world, and at the same time raise awareness for key environmental issues including climate change. Learn how to submit your photos here.

Miracle Tornado Hits St. Louis Airport
Tornadoes are fascinating, but deadly. People watch with horror as tornadoes rip pathways miles long through neighborhoods and communities. Often, the tornadoes leave nothing but rubble in their wake. The tornadoes on Friday, April 22, 2011 was different. No one normally calls a tornado a miracle except when a large storm system causes no deaths. The National Weather Service calls the storm event the Good Friday Tornado.

Solar flares: What does it take to be X-class? Sun emits an X-Class flare on August 9, 2011
Solar flares are giant explosions on the sun that send energy, light and high speed particles into space. These flares are often associated with solar magnetic storms known as coronal mass ejections (CMEs). The number of solar flares increases approximately every 11 years, and the sun is currently moving towards another solar maximum, likely in 2013. That means more flares will be coming, some small and some big enough to send their radiation all the way to Earth.

Software reveals critical crop growth stages
Agronomists have developed computer software that tells farmers when to spray pesticides. The software, called "PhenologyMMS (Modular Modeling System)," predicts the timing of plant growth stages so Central Great Plains farmers and ranchers can know how their crop is progressing and when to apply pesticides, fertilizers and water. PhenologyMMS also helps them time other management tasks.

Climate played big role in Vikings' disappearance from Greenland
Greenland's early Viking settlers were subjected to rapidly changing climate. Temperatures plunged several degrees in a span of decades, according to researchers. A reconstruction of 5,600 years of climate history from lakes near the Norse settlement in western Greenland also shows how climate affected the Dorset and Saqqaq cultures.

Taking a fresh look at the weather: Traditional model for how low pressure systems evolve is deeply flawed, researcher argues
Given the UK's obsession with the weather, it would seem obvious that the basic understanding of how low pressure systems evolve has been known for a long time. Instead, some of the biggest storms in the UK's history, such as the Great Storm of October 1987, did not fit this basic understanding. One researcher believes the way we learn about the weather is wrong and has been wrong for 90 years.

Finding reserves on the electrical grid
The weather determines how much energy wind turbine systems provide. The same applies to power line capacity. On cold and stormy days, this capacity is higher than on days with no wind and high mid-summer temperatures. An autonomously powered sensor network monitors power lines to find the reserves in the lines.
