Unlike Europe, the U.S., and China, the Indo-Gangetic Plain (IGP) has experienced rising air pollution over the last 20 years. New research finds that rising carbon dioxide may slow wind speeds in the region, further worsening air quality.
An environmental DNA sampler, an underwater glider, a saildrone, and some floats are among the instruments highlighted in NOAA’s 12 Days of Instruments.
Cloud-computing technology that improves climate prediction counts among the NOAA’s successful technology partnerships in 2022.
Preparing the nation for the impacts of climate change, tracking greenhouse gas emissions, and better understanding wildfire behavior count among the top achievements of NOAA research in 2022.
A new webinar, “Decision Support Research on Climate-Sensitive Health Risks: Highlights from the NOAA Climate Program Office’s (CPO) Climate and Societal Interactions Division (CSI),” is planned for January 19, 2023.
Marine cloud brightening (MCB), injecting aerosol particles into marine clouds to increase their reflectivity, is intended to temporarily cool the planet while pursuing decarbonication. A report from an April 2022 MCB workshop is now available online.
As climate change amplifies water stressors across the United States, not all areas feel the same pinch. Join the Western Water Assessment’s call for public comment on a climate assessment draft on January 12, 2023.
Climate.gov collaborated with Arctic experts to produce a collection of magazine-quality data visualizations for the 2022 Annual Arctic Report Card. Report editors used the images in their story about the report card in The Conversation.
Recent research has suggested possible ozone recovery in the upper stratosphere and decreasing ozone in the lower stratosphere. A new study supports a declining ozone trend in the lower stratosphere but no ozone “recovery” in the upper stratosphere.
A new study examines how rising global temperatures may affect weather patterns in the region stretching from the east coasts of China and Taiwan, and Japan.
