A new NOAA study finds that reducing particulate air pollution in Europe and North America has contributed to an increase in the number of tropical cyclones in the North Atlantic basin, and a decrease in the number of these storms in the Southern Hemisphere.
Along the west coast of the U.S., the dynamic and very biodiverse California Current System (CCS) supports a variety of fisheries and marine services. A new study improves accuracy in predicting future CCS conditions.
Recent research has suggested possible ozone recovery in the upper stratosphere and decreasing ozone in the lower stratosphere. A new study supports a declining ozone trend in the lower stratosphere but no ozone “recovery” in the upper stratosphere.
Grants are intended to support island communities with broad efforts to build climate resilience and advance sustainable development goals.
Incorporating regional climate impacts into large national hazard assessments provides critical context for building resilient infrastructure.
Ocean waters can acidify by absorbing anthorpogenic carbon emissions, and Arctic regions are particularly vulnerable to rapid pH changes. A new study shows that unsupervised machine learning can identify distinct clusters of surface acidification in the Arctic.
Accurate hurricane track and intensity forecasts are crucial for early preparation, but hurricane models have trade offs. High-resolution models improve hurricane intensity prediction than low-resolution models, but the high-resolution models are more prone to errors.
Failed monsoon rains that reignited the southwestern U.S. drought. A spring heat wave in western Europe. Intense Siberian wildfires. Scientists say human-caused climate change made these extreme weather events more likely, according to new research published today in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society (BAMS).
