“Inferno”

Nothing showcases the incredible power of our atmosphere like storms, and no one does stormchase photography like Mike Olbinski. In this vignette, he shows a stunning line of supercells caught near sunset on July 17, 2022. The high shear–combined with the setting sun–put on an incredible show. Dust blown up in a haboob, microbursts and downpours in the distance, and lots of churning, roiling turbulence. (Video and image credit: M. Olbinski)

Melting Can Propel Icebergs

Icebergs have long served as a metaphor for not knowing what’s going on beneath the surface. Studies like today’s are a reminder of why that is. Researchers found that asymmetric icebergs–shaped, in this case, like a right triangular prism–can self-propel as they melt. Their shape forces cold, dense meltwater to slide down the surface, generating a sinking plume that propels the ice as a whole. The team demonstrated this effect in both fresh- and saltwater. For icebergs wandering into warm waters, the effect is particularly strong and may reach levels about 10% of the magnitude of dominant propulsive forces like wind. (Image and research credit: M.
