The California Current System is a southward-moving, cold-water current that causes seasonal upwelling and eddies. A new modeling study finds that eddies are projected to become more variable and intense toward the end of the century compared to a 1980-2010 baseline.

How much aerosols scatter light and reduce visibility can be linked to human health impacts. Measurements taken during the Fire Influence on Regional to Global Environments and Air Quality (FIREX-AQ) campaign provide a record of aerosol light scattering during the 2019 wildfire season in the western United States.

The US Center at COP27 will feature a virtual reality experience developed in part by NOAA’s Science on a Sphere.

A recent study has identified genetic variants in staghorn coral, Acropora cervicornis, that can tolerate elevated temperatures and nutrient pollution, two environmental stressors that put this critically endangered species at risk.

Three experts explain why La Niña provides no relief from the excess planetary heating due to rising greenhouse gases.

User-friendly guide helps professionals implement the U.S. Climate Resilience Toolkit’s Steps to Resilience.

This year's hole in the ozone layer was slightly smaller than last year, and well below the peak size in 2006.

The Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory seeks high school teachers and classrooms to join its Adopt-a-Float program. Floats will measure ocean variables to understand the impacts of climate and ecosystem changes.

Great Lakes region's relatively low risk of climate hazards and abundant natural resources make it a possible destination for climate migration. New web tools facilitate planning for regional population growth.

A new study finds that California wildfire emissions from the last five years are more than five times greater than the emissions from the previous four decades. The study also shows the importance of vegetation and fire severity in controlling wildfire distribution.
