The goal of this series is to advance the practice of monitoring and evaluating (M&E) climate adaptation work. The four-part series will highlight different approaches, examples, and frameworks from a ...

After a year and a half of coordination and planning, the Hurricane and Ocean Testbed (HOT) has been successfully launched in the newly designed William M. Lapenta Laboratory. This testbed establishes a physical and virtual collaboration space for researchers and forecasters.

Understanding how dust moves through the atmosphere will be important as scientists try to predict how climate change will influence weather patterns. New research suggests that dust particles spur the formation of cirrus clouds.

In the newly released IPCC Climate Change 2022 Impacts Report, authors lay out a clear case for a major turnaround that will better integrate the world’s economic and environmental systems for a sustainable future.

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is a significant component of Earth’s climate system, so realistic simulation of the AMOC is key to climate prediction. A new study indicates sea-surface salinity plays an important role in realistic AMOC simulation.

How do El Niño and La Niña affect atmospheric rivers?

“We could see it unfolding right out the window. We knew it was moving into a highly populated area, and we knew people who lived there.” A new story map describes Marshall Fire from the perspective of National Weather Service meteorologists.

El Niño-Southern Oscillation contributes to global climate variability, with significant impacts on the North American continent. New research uses a combination of paleoclimatic and instrumental data to more reliably quantify the impacts of variability in this interconnected system.

Higher temperatures and higher precipitation can create more habitat for mosquitoes and ticks, raising the risk of illnesses such as Lyme disease and West Nile virus. In response, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has developed “A National Public Health Framework for the Prevention and Control of Vector-Borne Diseases in Humans.”

Understanding volcanoes is essential to fully understanding the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and its effects on climate. A newly published study revisits the link between ENSO and volcanic activity, in light of newer data.
