El Niño may mean an increased chance of snowfall for some of you. For the rest of you, it may be a bridge to s(nowhere).
A new study finds that data assimilation in Tropical Pacific models can improve predictions of sea surface temperature, but may not benefit predictions of mixed layer depth.
Drought improvement likely across the Southeast, Gulf Coast, and Texas amid ongoing El Niño.
Animated history of September temperatures (1850-2023)
October 17, 2023
Besides meteoric “space dust,” the atmosphere more than seven miles above Earth’s surface is peppered with particles containing metals from satellites and spent rocket boosters vaporized by the intense heat of reentry.
September was the sixth consecutive month of record-high global ocean surface temperature.
NOAA teamed up with industry aircraft professionals to test the use of uncrewed aircraft to gather observations. Science payloads can help NOAA address air quality, the role of aerosols in Earth’s energy budget, and atmospheric interactions.
Amid rising temperatures in the Western and Eastern United States, a cooling trend has dominated summer daytime temperatures over the central United States since the mid-twentieth century. A new study examines the role of natural variability.
Formic and acetic acid, which contribute to acid rain and aerosols, are too abundant for scientists to identify all their sources. A new study explains why models tend to underestimate their extent.
El Niño is on the prowl in the tropical Pacific. How loud do forecasters think it's going to roar?
