The Resilient Rural America Project (RRAP) has launched two self-guided, no-cost training modules to build local capacity and resilience to extreme weather for rural communities across the United States.
Although Arctic temperature trends have been attributed largely to greenhouse gas emissions, natural variability also plays a role. New research gives scientists a better understanding of the internal variability in the Arctic system.
Besides producing a tsunami, the Tonga eruption on January 15, 2022 gave scientists a real-world experiment, sending sulfur dioxide into Earth’s stratosphere. Now scientists have a chance to see what happens next, and to improve atmospheric models.
Balancing the water needs between Alabama, Florida, and Georgia is often complex. To support the needs of stakeholders in the region, NOAA has released the Apalachicola, Chattahoochee, and Flint (ACF) River Basin drought and water dashboard.
Although research has been done on the impact of tropical cyclones on drought, the contribution of weaker tropical storms hasn't been studied as closely. A new study asks whether tropical storms can alleviate drought conditions.
The COVID-19 pandemic gave scientists an accidental experiment opportunity to monitor and understand the atmospheric response to emission reductions. An international research team combined observations and modeling to assess possible changes.
Scientists led by NOAA published an opinion piece in PNAS on geoengineering through marine cloud brightening (MCB). The piece proposes decarbonizing first, but beginning research on MCB, following six checkpoints.
Demand for actionable scientific information on adaptation and resilience is outpacing supply. Three federal climate science-to-action networks collaborate closely to make relevant scientific information and adaptive management strategies available.
Wildfire smoke is a substantial source of ozone in our lower atmosphere, but one that is hard to quantify. New research investigates ozone chemistry in wildfire plumes using measurements from a flight campaign.
The tropical intraseasonal oscillation (ISO) affects variability over the tropical Indian and Pacific Oceans, and affects ENSO and monsoons, but models struggle to simulate the ISO. New research identifies reanalysis products best suited to studying the ISO.
