African air quality: framework for a proactive observing and modeling strategy

July 23, 2024

Air pollution in Africa already results in 1.1 million premature deaths annually and is expected to intensify. A new study proposes a modeling and observation strategy to mitigate the hazard.

New study finds a potential predictor for long-range US tornado forecasts

July 20, 2024

In December 2021, our nation’s most destructive winter tornado outbreak caused 89 fatalities and 672 injuries. New research finds the outbreak occurred under a prolonged negative Pacific-North American pattern.

Ten tasks of communication amidst a societal transformation

July 16, 2024

A researcher with the western Climate Adaptation Partnerships team California Nevada Adaptations Program has drawn on existing literature to develop 10 key tasks of communication amidst coastal relocation.

New model enhances El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) forecasting

July 16, 2024

Building on decades of progress in El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) modeling, researchers have developed a new model that provides accurate ENSO forecasts as much as 16–18 months in advance.

Scientists release plan for upcoming Tropical Pacific modeling and field studies

July 16, 2024

Scientists have released plans for an international effort to better predict of processes in the tropical Pacific and thereby better understand processes central to global weather and climate.

Causes and multiyear predictability of the rapid acceleration of U. S. Southeast Sea level rise after 2010

July 16, 2024

New research indicates the rapid increase in the rate of sea level rise along the U.S. Southeast Coast since 2010 is due partly to natural variability factors, and that the rate of sea level rate might slow in the next five years.

Summer airborne research targets Rocky Mountain ozone pollution

July 09, 2024

NOAA will investigate persistent air pollution problems bedeviling the nation’s two largest Mountain West metro regions, Denver and Salt Lake City, in new research projects in July 2024.

Australia to Africa in 36 days: Freddy was the longest-lasting tropical cyclone in history

July 09, 2024

The World Meteorological Organization has declared 2023’s Tropical Cyclone Freddy to be the longest-lasting tropical cyclone on record, at 36 days. Freddy covered a distance nearly a third of Earth’s circumference.

GFDL's ocean model set to enhance NOAA's hurricane forecasting

July 09, 2024

GFDL’s Modular Ocean Model, MOM6, represents a major advancement in modeling oceanic and climatic processes. MOM’s development began in the mid-1980s, aimed at providing a robust tool for simulating ocean circulation and its effects on global climate.

New study suggests eddies may influence coral resilience as ocean temperatures rise

July 02, 2024

A new study suggests a series of Gulf of Mexico reefs are more resilient to warmer oceans as they are exposed to a wider range of temperatures brought on by a physical movement of seawater called “eddies.”
