A new study finds the observed increase in tropical cyclone frequency near Western Europe from 1966 to 2020 is likely linked to the anthropogenic aerosol effect.
2023 was a record-breaking year. According to the Annual 2023 Global Climate Report, 2023 was the warmest year since global atmospheric temperature records began in 1850, at 1.18°C (2.12°F) above the 20th-century average of 13.9°C (57.0°F).
Near-fire smoke is associated with lesser production of ozone, but aged wildfire smoke can increase levels of ozone in locations thousands of kilometers from the wildfire.
NOAA Ship Gordon Gunter journeyed away from Pascagoula, Mississippi for 90+ days and 12,700+ nautical miles to support of a key tropical Atlantic observing system.
Researchers from the Southern Climate Impacts Planning Program have published a case study of how Oklahoma military installations prepare for extreme weather.
A new study finds improvements in how models simulate surface wind responses to sea surface temperature changes are key to enhancing prediction skill.
New projects will improve understanding of atmospheric methane budgets to inform successful policies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, address major sources of uncertainty in methane measurements and modeling, and reduce community-level methane emissions.
The Climate Smart Communities Initiative (CSCI) has announced its first round of awards, with more than $1 million, including funding and technical support to help communities accelerate climate resilience efforts.
Nitrogen fertilizer usage has helped feed nearly half the global population. But nitrogen emissions to the atmosphere have contributed to acid rain, air pollution, stratospheric ozone depletion, and the radiative forcing underlying climate change.
NOAA and India team up to create life-saving tropical cyclone forecast model for nation of a billion
A 12-year collaboration between NOAA and the Indian Ministry of Earth Sciences paves the way for advances in severe weather modeling and may lead to improved tropical cyclone forecasts.
