Notes from the Field. ATom 2016: World Survey of the Atmosphere: Going Back in Time. August 19th, 2016 by Roísín Commane. As the DC-8 flies around the world for the ATom project, we are crossing many time zones and occasionally loosing and gaining days! So we explored Aoraki/Mt. Cook National Park for a few hours. Snow blowing from the mountains onto the glacier in Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park, New Zealand. Credit: Róisín Commane. But at least the flight from New Zealand was worth all the effort!

Vital Signs of the Planet. Global Warming vs. Climate Change. Follow Global Climate Change. A blanket around the Earth. A layer of greenhouse gases primarily water vapor, and including much smaller amounts of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide acts as a thermal blanket for the Earth, absorbing heat and warming the surface to a life-supporting average of 59 degrees Fahrenheit (15 degrees Celsius). Warming that results when the atmosphere traps heat radiating from Earth toward space. A minor but ver...
