Nitrogen oxide is an air pollutant with health and environmental consequences, so researchers try to accurately gauge human-caused NOx emissions. Emission inventories and satellite observations have given different estimates of NOx. A new study shows the source of the discrepancy

Summary: Stakeholders of NCRS-assisted dams can receive real-time updates of rainfall, snowmelt, stream flow, and seismic events that could affect dam safety.

The August 2021 Climate outlook favors a wetter-than-average month across the Southwest and Southeast and above-average temperatures across much of the contiguous U.S.

Human activity has driven a positive trend in Earth’s energy imbalance, increasing the planet’s heat storage. This is the conclusion of a new study by Princeton University and NOAA researchers.

NOAA has worked with the American Planning Association to produce a new report proposing a framework for climate resilience planning in the San Diego region. Some of the threats covered in the report are unique to the region; some threats have already happened in other U.S. regions.

The latest version of the U.S. Climate Resilience Toolkit’s Climate Explorer now offers climate projections for every county in the entire United States. The recent addition of climate projection data for Hawai'i and U.S. island territories in the Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea complements the tool’s original contiguous U.S (CONUS) coverage and the addition of data for Alaska in 2020.

Besides implications for air quality and health, wildfires affect climate. A study designed to uncover the climate effects of wildfire smoke found that smoke from wildfires in the western United States absorbs less sunlight than smoke from wildfires in southern Africa.

How has the age of Arctic Sea Ice changed over time? Since the late 1900s, Arctic sea ice has thinned, and less sea ice has persisted in the Arctic over multiple melt seasons. The trend toward younger, thinner sea ice over time reflects warming temperatures in the Arctic. As older ice is thicker than younger ice, the reduced area of old ice also indicates a reduction in the total volume of ice.
