Drought frequently strikes the U.S. Southern Plains, so understanding how drought affects water availability has significant economic benefits. But modeling water availability is challenging because so many physical processes must be considered. A new study examines how a frequently used model compares with observations.
A new report cautions that weather and climate conditions, including the onset of higher temperatures during spring, should not be used as a trigger to relax COVID-19 transmission reduction ...
Changes foreshadow impacts on lake ecosystems and fisheries.
From Alaska to New Hampshire to Hawaii, NOAA Sea Grant programs are working to help coastal communities build resilience to changing conditions, including changing climate.
The Beaufort Sea, the largest Arctic Ocean freshwater reservoir, has increased its freshwater content by 40 percent over the past two decades. How and where this water will flow into the Atlantic Ocean matters in local and global ocean conditions, including the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation.
Today, NOAA and its partners are accelerating the advancement of numerical weather prediction by sharing a second application based on the Unified Forecasting System (UFS) framework with the ...
All tornadoes -- whether small or large -- originate from thunderstorms, but not all thunderstorms are the same. Different environments and situations create forecasting challenges. For instance, ...
