Tropical cyclones are still not fully understood at a fine level of detail. A newly published climate-model study demonstrates a better understanding of the processes of tropical cyclone formation, which will help to develop models and future projections.
A new study examines how rising global temperatures may affect weather patterns in the region stretching from the east coasts of China and Taiwan, and Japan.
New research confirms that, even as the Arctic warms faster than the rest of the world, cold-air outbreaks from the polar region will continue across the Northern Hemisphere in the coming decades.
New research evaluates how changing climate may affect fish catch, fish distributions, and food web structure in the upper 600 meters of the ocean.
Stony Brook University scientists have identified an influential force in the tropical stratosphere that could help better forecast storm tracks and their extreme impacts, like future winter "bomb …
A new study analyzes forecasts of acidity and oxygen at the ocean’s surface and subsurface. Combining data sources improves forecast skill up to ten months in advance.
For the second year in a row, NOAA scientists observed a record annual increase in atmospheric levels of methane, a powerful, heat-trapping greenhouse gas that’s the second biggest contributor to human-caused global warming after carbon dioxide.
Carbon dioxide levels also recorded a big jump.
Days with the most prominent Saharan dust correlated with fewer thunderstorms in the Atlantic and less rainfall across Puerto Rico, a pattern that has become more frequent over the past 40 years.
A new climate model simulates realistic extreme precipitation over the Northeastern United States. By the mid-twenty-first century, the model projects unprecedented rainfall events over the region under the IPCC’s SSP5-8.5 scenario. Extreme precipitation (top 1 percent of daily precipitation) would double its frequency by the end of the century.
