A new study demonstrates an innovative approach combining two artificial intelligence methods to predict a key ENSO indicator up to a year and a half in advance. The method proved capable of predicting extreme ENSO events at about 85 percent accuracy.
When we get to spring, the polar vortex's days are numbered. When will the "final stratospheric warming" occur this year?
For Women’s History Month, Climate.gov takes a brief look at some early women working in Earth and climate science.
The forecast for April leans mostly warm and wet, with good news for drought in the Central Plains.
Nationally, winter precipitation was a good match to patterns expected based on past El Niños. Our blogger dives into the details.
For decades, NOAA has used jets to collect data from around hurricanes. A new study finds that a second flight path closer to the hurricane’s center improves forecast accuracy.
As atmospheric greenhouse gases rise and climate change impacts get costlier, the scientific community is redoubling efforts to investigate the potential risks and benefits of artificially shading Earth’s surface to slow global warming.
When the Madden-Julian Oscillation moves slowly, tropical cyclone activity increases in the Atlantic due to reduced wind shear over key regions.
Researchers long thought the Deep Western Boundary Current was the main pathway for deep water movement in the North Atlantic. A new study identifies another significant route, the Eastern Pathway east of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
A strip of cool water in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean, the “cold tongue,” warms up every morning. This weakens the cold tongue’s boundary every afternoon.
