New research indicates Elkhorn coral outplanted in shallow, low-nutrient waters and high velocity currents have a higher probability of survival.
The troposphere, not the stratosphere, can be thanked for the cold weather this week.
Released in 2023, the Fifth National Climate Assessment (NCA5)'s Art × Climate gallery encourages people to engage with climate in a new way. This work by Meredith Nemirov imagines a Colorado landscape with abundant water and resilience to drought.
Weak La Niña conditions continued in January, but a transition to ENSO-neutral in the near future is likely.
On January 16, 2025, NOAA Research released an Ocean Carbon Observing Science Plan. Ocean, coastal, and Great Lake carbon observations provide critical information for the development of future climate projections, adaptation and mitigation strategies.
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.
The northwestern United States (including the states of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho) is home to nearly 14 million Americans. The region's diverse landscapes and inhabitants are variously affected by changing climate.
NOAA has entered into a two-year Cooperative Research And Development Agreement to optimize a vast NOAA-managed archive of observational weather data for training artificial intelligence-based weather forecasting applications.
Hurricanes often feature small-scale clouds characterized by finger-like appearances pointing toward the hurricane eye. New research offers clues about how they form.
