NOAA and the Climate Resilience Fund have announced results of the 2021 competitive grants program supporting projects that will help communities build resilience to the impacts of climate change. Projects focus on four priorities: diversity, equity and inclusion; nature-based solutions to climate change; finance-ready planning; and measures of success.
Drifters, buoys, Argo floats and more help scientists monitor the global ocean, including areas that are difficult to travel to via research ship. 200 feet...100 feet...and success! A robotic …
This summer, NOAA and citizen scientists will map the hottest parts of 18 communities in 14 states across the country and in one international city. Identifying these urban heat islands helps local decision-makers take actions to reduce the health impacts of extreme heat, which often target the most vulnerable.
The release of Global Carbon Budget 2014 coincided with the UN Climate Summit in New York on Sept. 23, 2014. The global report measures carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere, oceans and land ...
A cruise supported by NOAA’s AOML and PMEL set sail on November 1, 2022. Over the next 40 days, the cruise recovered and redeployed key moorings in the Prediction and Research Moored Array in the Tropical Atlantic (PIRATA), and conducted research projects on the ocean and atmosphere that advance our understanding of carbon absorption in the ocean and atmospheric pollution.
On September 28, 2022, NOAA deployed 27-pound drone into the eye of Hurricane Ian, The drone then completed a two-hour mission, acquiring critical measurements to understand the complex storm system.
NOAA hurricane researchers successfully deployed a new uncrewed aircraft system (UAS) into Tropical Storm Tammy (2023) to measure parts of the storm too dangerous for humans to go.
In late 2020, NOAA and the Department of Energy organized a workshop focused on improving predictions of precipitation variability and extremes. The NOAA-DOE Precipitation Processes and Predictability workshop report is now available.
