In some parts of the deep ocean, it can look like it's snowing. This "marine snow" is the dust and detritus that organisms slough off as they die and decompose. Marine snow can fall several kilometers ...

Now, researchers at MIT and their collaborators have found that as marine snow falls, tiny hitchhikers may limit how deep the particles can sink before dissolving away. The team shows that when ...

In Physics of Fluids, researchers model the way snow gathers on a roof based on snowflake size and distribution. The model considers how turbulence can affect recently landed snow and how wind can ...

No two snowflakes may be the same, but models that fail to take these variations into consideration often fall short when calculating the way snow accumulates on roofs. In Physics of Fluids, ...

Learn how bacteria inside marine snow may dissolve shell minerals and influence how the ocean stores carbon. Anyone who has ever dived into the ocean has seen the tiny white flecks drifting through ...

Washington, Alaska, Montana, and Oregon are likely to be hit with severe winter weather, with snow-covered roads and gusty winds likely to limit visibility and create hazardous driving conditions for ...
