If the recent weather whiplash has left you wondering how U.S. winters are changing over time, NOAA climate maps tell the story.
What is the latest and greatest in ENSO science? This blogger travels to Guayaquil, Ecuador to find out.
New research suggests the climate change could affect how ENSO impacts temperature and wildfires. Read on to learn what that means.
We live in a warming world. And we often characterize that warming through metrics of temperature. But that’s only a sliver of the story. Another sliver, and perhaps a more consequential one, is Big Rain.
Amazingly, ENSO doesn't just impact climate anomalies like temperature and precipitation over the United States. It can also influence the sea level, which may have major implications as the sea level continues to rise in the future.
A quick spin around the March 2018 U.S. climate scene, all else being equal.
Our climate is changing. To help our users see how different times and places are warming at different rates, NCEI has created a new series of trend maps for the contiguous U.S. In this blog, NCEI's Jake Crouch gives us a show and tell featuring the new maps.
In an ironic exclamation point to swift regional climate change in and near the Arctic, the average temperature observed at the weather station at Utqiaġvik has now changed so rapidly that in November 2017, it triggered an algorithm designed to detect artificial changes in a station’s record and disqualified itself from the NCEI Alaskan temperature analysis.
Drought emerged quickly in the Northern Plains this past summer. How does that fit with the bigger picture of what we know about drought and climate?
The forecast of ENSO is not the only thing scientists use when making seasonal forecasts. This post looks at another predictor that often is even better to use than ENSO.
