(Natural News) A new study published on March 24 in Nature Astronomy has found a new set of waves on the Sun’s surface that don’t fit current theories. Known as “high-frequency retrograde (HFR) waves,” the newly-detected waves travel in the opposite direction of the Sun’s rotation and emerge as a pattern of vortices on the Sun’s […]

(Natural News) Scientists have identified systematic meanders in the globe-circling northern jet stream that have caused simultaneous crop-damaging heatwaves affecting parts of North America, Europe and Asia. A study conducted two years ago found that certain kinds of waves in the atmospheric circulation can become amplified and then locked in place for extended periods – […]

(Natural News) Since humans started tracking Earth’s magnetic field for the last four centuries or so, it has steadily drifted westward. Experts have wondered about the reason for this movement, but a study presents a possible reason for the drift. The study, titled “Could hydrodynamic Rossby waves explain the westward drift?” was published in the journal Proceedings […]
