First-ever daily time series reveals strength of deep ocean circulation system in the South Atlantic
The study may have large implications for the climate and weather forecasts made by ocean models in the future.
A new U.S.-based system to combine air quality and greenhouse gas pollution sources into a single national research database is now available in the U.S. Greenhouse Gas Center portal.
A new study shows it’s possible to collect measurements of fire and smoke chemistry, weather conditions, and smoke plume dynamics in real time around an active wildfire.
An annual survey is underway to provide fisheries and oceanographic data to support sustainable management of the fast-changing Bering Sea. These surveys help decision makers better understand the impacts of events such as sea ice loss.
Extreme heat has implications for power grid infrastructure, food production and nutrition, childhood education, worker health and safety, and crime.
NOAA is improving hurricane forecasts in five ways: developing of NOAA’s next-generation tropical cyclone model, collocating ocean observing instruments, improving small uncrewed aircraft systems, developing new instruments, and flying aircraft further east to study how storms begin.
Benefits include improved wildfire forecasts, safer drinking water, better flood predictions, sea floor mapping, and healthier fisheries.
Tracking greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere, understanding ocean warming, exploring the link between climate change and hurricanes, tracking warming in the Great Lakes, and working towards climate resilience are just five examples of the many ways NOAA scientists are answering questions about climate change and its potential impacts on human societies.
