New research compares model simulations to satellite data to show that while a frequently used model captures some aspects of real cloud behavior, it struggles to accurately represent certain types of clouds, like those found closer to the Earth’s surface.

This is a multi-step, interactive tool for users to identify potential risks (to people, buildings, infrastructure, contamination, land) for selected coastal areas in the US, using scenarios of water level rising (as a result of tides, sea level rise, and storm surge) from 0-10 feet. Tool provides local, regional and national resources as guidance for managing risk.

A board game which engages students as they grapple with the complexities of society's challenges. It encourages students to cultivate a deep and layered understanding of these challenges and current societal options for producing energy.

Resource Watch features hundreds of data sets all in one place on the state of the planet's resources and citizens. Users can visualize challenges facing people and the planet, from climate change to poverty, water risk to state instability, air pollution to human migration.

Warm and dry or cold and wet? NOAA's monthly climate outlook lays out the odds.

It’s been 50 years since the first attempt to forecast the El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO). The initial prediction was incorrect, but it marked the beginning of a journey toward understanding and predicting one of Earth’s most influential climate phenomena.

Yes, but only to a small degree. This is the conclusion of a new research article published today in the journal Science Advances that authors have dubbed “intentional stratospheric dehydration.”

Summary: The 2017 Labor Day Heat Wave helped San Francisco's Health Department recognize that they lacked a proactive plan to deal with extreme heat and wildfire smoke. Ten community-based organizations worked with public, private, and academic partners to co-develop a plan to increase the City's resilience to future events.

This video on phenology of plants and bees discusses the MODIS satellite finding that springtime greening is happening one half-day earlier each year and correlates this to bee pollination field studies.

Cold in the eastern U.S. can be a side effect of a sudden stratospheric warming event. But how reliable is it?
