In response to the escalating risks and challenges posed by the evolving climate system, a new research project aims to enhance multi-decadal projections of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and its profound impacts on weather, climate, and coastal hazards.
A new study describes how Earth System Models represent ocean convection in the Labrador Sea, a crucial site for understanding climate variability. The study pinpoints biases in both oceanic and atmospheric model components affecting climate.
Using a new powerful NOAA global climate model, NOAA and partner researchers show that big spikes in daily coastal sea levels will increase in the future from the Gulf Coast to the Atlantic coast as…
New research supported by the Climate Program Office's Atmospheric Chemistry, Carbon Cycle, & Climate (AC4) program was published online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science on Dec…
An international team has collected a high-resolution bathymetric and hydrothermal plume survey of the post-eruption caldera. Employing an uncrewed surface vessel, the survey was conducted by scientists and engineers across the globe.
Dry air plays a surprisingly important role in these heatwaves by suppressing upward movement of warm, moist air, a process that usually cools the surface.
A new study finds that the location of the Madden–Julian Oscillation affects where precipitation-rich warm conveyor belts occur over the Pacific Ocean.
NOAA is expanding ocean measurements of carbon dioxide to under-observed, climate-critical regions by installing a new generation of sensors on the NOAA Ship Ronald H. Brown and several other U.S. government and academic research vessels.
Clouds have both cooling and warming effects on climate, so a climate model's ability to parse cloud effects can reduce uncertainty in future climate projections. A new study distinguishes between climate models with low and high climate sensitivity related to clouds and aerosols.
