Summary: Multiple U.S. coastal regions may see rapid increases in the number of high-tide flooding days in the mid-2030s, according to a new study. The combined effects of sea-level rise and natural fluctuations in tidal range are anticipated to cause tipping points in the frequency of high-tide flooding. These tipping points can produce acute impacts in underserved communities not prepared for the consequences.
Built by members of the team behind NOAA’s Climate.gov, the new nonprofit resource is supported in part by more than 2,500 small donations from people who want reliable climate science information to…
A new study concludes that the range of possible sea surface temperature conditions in the North Atlantic could more than double by the mid-21st century, leading to vastly different climate outcomes.
Climate change presents growing threats to human health, but many health professionals need training on how best to engage with patients on climate-related issues. A new program aims to provide training.
Even though stormy days are rare globally, they have an outsized effect on Earth’s radiation budget. Precipitation days, both drizzle and wet days, contribute to about 80 percent of global longwave and shortwave cloud radiative effects.
New research compares model simulations to satellite data to show that while a frequently used model captures some aspects of real cloud behavior, it struggles to accurately represent certain types of clouds, like those found closer to the Earth’s surface.
