The April 2026 issue is now available online! Packed full of news, interviews and features, including:
Cover story: The frozen frontier: Advances in autonomous sensors, aircraft-based measurements and drifting ocean floats are transforming Antarctic observation, revealing hidden climate processes and strengthening models used to predict sea-level rise and global atmospheric change.
Power of the forecast: As extreme weather intensifies and renewable power sources become more widespread, energy systems are becoming increasingly climate dependent, exposing grids to new vulnerabilities and driving demand for deeper integration between meteorology and energy planning.
A warming world: As global temperatures hit record highs, scientists detail the rigorous datasets, methods and checks underpinning climate measurements amid rising political skeptisim and persistent challenges to their credibility.
Space weather: The L1 lookout: NOAA’s SOLAR-1 observatory marks a major leap in operational space weather monitoring, delivering faster, higher-resolution data from L1 to improve forecasting accuracy, strengthen infrastructure resilience and replace aging satellites nearing the end of their operational lifespans.
Tech insider: Next-gen small satellites: DiskSat’s unconventional disc-shaped architecture is redefining how satellites operate in very low Earth orbit, opening new pathways for cost-effective high-performance Earth observation and meteorological missions.
