Summary: This stakeholder-inspired tool provides a practical solution to assist planners and emergency managers in the state of Louisiana in incorporating accurate climate data into their planning processes.

California is the nation's most populous state, and one of the largest contributors to food security. Reliable precipitation forecasts are in high demand but hard to deliver. A new paper examines the challenges.

NOAA researchers have published the new article titled, “Growing Safely or Building Risk?” The publication analyzes new construction across 5 million parcels in the state of North Carolina, and the relationships between flood risk management effort and development outcomes.

This winter has brought multiple rounds of devastating severe weather to the southeastern U.S., with more than 200 reported tornadoes and 14 fatalities. To better understand the deadly storms in this region, scientists will conduct research as they travel through seven states in the second year of one of the largest and most comprehensive severe storm field projects to date.

A cruise supported by NOAA’s AOML and PMEL set sail on November 1, 2022. Over the next 40 days, the cruise recovered and redeployed key moorings in the Prediction and Research Moored Array in the Tropical Atlantic (PIRATA), and conducted research projects on the ocean and atmosphere that advance our understanding of carbon absorption in the ocean and atmospheric pollution.

Fifty years ago, NOAA opened the Atlantic Oceanographic & Meteorological Laboratories (AOML) on Virginia Key in Miami, Florida. From entering measurements on keypunch cards, to the development of a state-of-the-art data center, AOML continues to build on the experience and discoveries of five decades of technological and scientific advancements.
