An Overdue Update: Giving Atmospheric Science Its Own Space
February 17, 2026
To our readers,
For a long time, we have housed our coverage of atmospheric phenomena, climate dynamics, and meteorological studies under the broad umbrella of "Earth Science." While taxonomically convenient, I have come to realize that this classification fails to give due credit to a distinct and incredibly vital multidisciplinary field.
Atmospheric Science is not merely a branch of Earth Science; it is a complex, distinct discipline that dictates the very air we breathe and the future of our planet. By tucking it away as a sub-category, we haven’t afforded it the visibility or the distinct recognition it deserves. For that, I sincerely apologize. We should have made this distinction sooner.
Effective immediately, we have launched a dedicated Atmospheric Science category.
Please bear with us in the coming weeks. We are currently in the process of auditing our archives to manually migrate and re-tag older articles to their new home. It is not an overnight process, but it is a necessary one to ensure our archive is as precise as the science it covers.
Thank you for your patience as we make Scientific Frontline a more accurate resource.

With the pace of discovery accelerating, our news feed moves fast—sometimes burying older research too quickly. To fix this, we jumped to 15 articles on the Main Page. We’ve also moved our most powerful navigation tools to the top of the sidebar. You will now find the Search function and our Special Collections immediately available, following that will be research by Category then the Archive ensuring that while the news flows, the research remains just one click away.

The "Our Purpose / Goal" has been updated some, after 20 years.
Both "Privacy Policy" and "Terms of Service" had some minor text changes.

All pages are getting a fresh new header image.
The "About Us" and "Links" page are in progress, should be complete in about a week.
The Mobile version is still as boring as can be, I'll work on it.
There will be articles coming out today.
Thanks for your patience.

Still looking for more funding to upgrade equipment and outdated software; I do have a few leads to follow-up on. Keep your fingers crossed__it is seriously needed to function properly.
Lastly, I thank all of you for your support, and keeping science discoveries and advancements disseminated.
Just so you know, we are on track to have over three million views by the end of year, for this year.
