A new forecast provides people with pollen allergies and respiratory conditions a data-driven tool that estimates when and where pollen will cause higher allergen exposure and respiratory irritation levels.
Scientists at NOAA’s Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory are investigating how crucial reef-building coral species are affected by the impacts of climate change using a suite of open-source robotic arms.
NOAA Sea Grant-funded research and work with coastal and Great Lakes communities across the nation are being highlighted in a special issue of “Oceanography,” the official journal of The Oceanography Society.
Traversing from Fremantle, Australia to Antarctica’s Prydz Bay and back again, the crew aboard the Research Vessel Thomas G. Thompson successfully concluded the I08S GO-SHIP cruise on April 1, 2024.
Wind, waves, and icebergs pierced through morning fog – the A13.5 GO-SHIP cruise proved both tumultuous and rewarding with vast amounts of new data that bring the promise of groundbreaking future research.
Modeling suggests that, under a warming climate, extreme near-surface wind speeds will increase by up to 3 percent towards the poles while decreasing by a similar amount in the lower midlatitudes.
In celebration of Earth Month, GFDL shares how the lab is investing to meet weather and climate goals through some of its advanced global models: CM4, SPEAR, ESM4, and SHiELD. These models enhance our comprehension of the Earth system.
The National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS) has released its annual report, highlighting accomplishments from 2023 and future opportunities.
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.
