You should, too.
Our blogger herds some cats who discover that the strong El Niño was not the only factor driving the forecasted precipitation pattern in winter 2023-24. What else was there?
In the mid- and high latitudes, ocean currents drive most changes in sea surface temperatures over long periods of time, overpowering atmospheric influences by two to three times. In subtropical regions, atmospheric forces have more influence.
Cold, dense water from the Southern Ocean transfers heat and carbon to the Northern Hemisphere via the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. But a new study finds that the northward transport of cold water at 16°N weakened by about 12 percent during 2000-2020.
The Adaptation Sciences research program funded a project to assess vulnerability to sea level rise and implement feasible strategies to cope.
The use of sulfuryl fluoride as a pesticide has raised concerns due to its potent greenhouse gas properties. A new study reveals California as the largest emitter, particularly in coastal regions such as Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego counties.
La Niña is likely for this summer and fall. Our blogger gives you the scoop on the forecast and what La Niña could mean for global weather and climate.
Tropical deep convection is one of the leading sources of uncertainty in future projections of the Earth’s temperature. There are uncertainties in the radiative response of convective clouds, which can have negative or positive radiative effects.
Levels of the three most important human-caused greenhouse gases – carbon dioxide (CO2), methane and nitrous oxide – continued their steady climb during 2023, according to NOAA scientists.
A new study shows it’s possible to collect measurements of fire and smoke chemistry, weather conditions, and smoke plume dynamics in real time around an active wildfire.
