Coastal storms brought heavy rains and flooding to the East Coast, and 111 counties had their warmest September on record.
Sharks, seals, birds, and fish count among predator species in the Northeastern Pacific that are ecologically, culturally, and commercially valuable. A new study shows how marine heatwaves affect predators differently.
Sea surface temperatures, storms, greenhouse gases, aerosols, and natural radiation all affect the tropical Atlantic climate. A new study finds that a north-to-south ocean temperature gradient is a key driver of Atlantic hurricanes and Sahel rainfall.
NOAA and partner scientists recently completed two successful field tests in the US Arctic merging new technologies and traditional ship surveys of phytoplankton species distributions in response to surface warming.
El Niño communicates with North America by tweaking the jet stream. How does all that work?
Of all the potential impacts of global warming, increases in extreme heat are the most certain. Yet it's the one extreme U.S. communities have paid the least attention to so far. Ladd Keith hopes to change that.
Extreme heat has implications for power grid infrastructure, food production and nutrition, childhood education, worker health and safety, and crime.
Islands in the Caribbean can enjoy near-daily rainfall but have limited freshwater reserves, making them especially vulnerable to sudden, rapid drying. A new study identifies instances of widespread flash drought outbreaks.
Approximately $2 million has been allocated to support tribal drought resilience. This investment will help tribal nations address current and future drought risk while informing decision making and strengthening tribal drought resilience in a changing climate.
