"The effects of the snow line on planet formation should be generally applicable to different volatiles, with the exception that the 'stickiness' of the icy grains varies," Qi said.

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.

DENVER — Parts of Westminster got a foot of snow last Monday, and just 18 miles from there in Brighton, zero snow was reported. While a very localized but powerful, and long-lasting convective ...

A snow line has been imaged in a far-off infant solar system for the very first time. The snow line, located in the disc around the Sun-like star TW Hydrae, promises to tell us more about the ...

Using satellite imagery and a 1 meter LiDAR Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of the Taylor Valley, this study assesses the spatial and temporal dynamics of snow patch formation within and adjacent to the ...

These formations, called "pancake snow," result from very specific weather conditions. Intense cold, a completely frozen lake, and a light wind are enough for snow to accumulate around small ...
