A new study adds to the growing evidence that cloud feedback likely amplifies warming, rather than reducing it. Cloud impacts in the tropical Pacific and Atlantic Oceans are 71% higher than previously thought.
Why no one should expect a perfect match between what happens during a La Niña winter and the expected La Niña pattern. But knowing whether it may be a El Niño or La Niña winter is still useful!
A deep look at the water in the Great Lakes shows that winters are about 14 days shorter than they were in 1995. This finding marks the first use of subsurface temperature readings to determine how climate change may affect seasons in and around the Great Lakes.
Every year, scientists at AOML participate in developing the annual Global Carbon Budget Report, an assessment of global carbon emissions. The effort includes the exchange of carbon between the ocean and the atmosphere.
Changing knowledge systems through co-production can enhance capacity to diagnose, visualize, anticipate, and respond to changes in the future in coastal cities.
The convergence of climate change, past wildland fire policy, and an expanding wildland–urban interface have increased pressure on wildland fire managers to use science-based information to improve management outcomes.
Ten communities have received a total of $200,000 for developing manuals for extreme heat response planning, and $500,000 in funding will go to Duke University’s Heat Policy Innovation Hub for heat policy research and outreach.
New Federal Advisory Committee members will provide feedback to improve NOAA’s climate tools and services.
The cold air outbreak forecasted for the coming weekend has a stronger hint of a polar vortex connection than the last one.
A global reduction in sulfur pollution from shipping that has inadvertently contributed to recent warming of the Earth is providing insights into the challenge of evaluating marine cloud brightening.
