A new instrument for measuring aerosols on a long-term basis has recently been installed at NOAA’s Air Resources Laboratory in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The information from the sensor could lead to more accurate weather and air quality forecasts.
A new study shows models diverge in predicting warming or cooling along the West Antarctic shelf. The difference is due to the models’ differing baseline representation of the Antarctic Slope Current.
Compared to models that use predicted plant growth, models that incorporate satellite measurements of plant cover improve tracking of drought duration.
The recent workshop was part of an ongoing partnership focused on building climate resilience and adaptation in islands throughout the Pacific, Caribbean and Indian Oceans.
A new report captures opportunities that Tribal Nations, Tribal Colleges and Universities, and their partners have identified to strengthen engagement and action around drought resilience.
