Antarctic sea ice has experienced a string of negative extent anomalies over the last several years. A new study finds the atmosphere might play a larger role that these negative anomalies than the subsurface Southern Ocean. Still, the ocean plays a critical role in the persistence of low sea ice extent.
A new study examines water use in three large U.S. water systems: Austin Water, the Southern Nevada Water Authority, and Tampa Bay Water. Changes during drought, sustained engagement, collaboration, and education can lead to long-lasting changes in values around water, the study finds.
The Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy (ACCAP), a NOAA RISA team, has a new publication in Climate Risk Management . The report--”The role of remote engagement in supporting boundary ...
Past research suggests the atmosphere in the Arctic influences the properties of sea ice during spring season, which in turn may influence sea ice concentrations in the fall. The role of clouds for …
The Simple Planning Tool assists planners, emergency managers, and decision makers in assessing long-term climate risks. Previously available in Oklahoma and Arkansas, the tool is now available to Texas.
NOAA postdoc Nastassia Patin recounts her journey aboard a French schooner in January and February 2022. The mission’s goal was to characterize, quantify, and model Atlantic Ocean ecosystems.
Using plain language and easy-to-use tools, the U.S. Climate Resilience Toolkit illustrates climate-related vulnerabilities that communities and businesses face, from national to local scales, and …
(VIDEO) Visualizing data makes it easier to understand exactly how an extreme weather event affected people’s lives, livelihoods, and property and how those things could be affected in the future. Knowing how to access and analyze the wide variety of datasets needed to study those events can be a challenge, however. NOAA's Weather and Climate Toolkit makes the job easier.
