Several rounds of severe storms devastated the Midwest and Great Plains. Four new billion-dollar weather and climate disasters were confirmed in May.

Funds from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law will allow NOAA to expand a global network of sensors to track carbon dioxide in the ocean. They will also serve to improve the understanding and forecasting of global climatic and environmental changes.

Even though stormy days are rare globally, they have an outsized effect on Earth’s radiation budget. Precipitation days, both drizzle and wet days, contribute to about 80 percent of global longwave and shortwave cloud radiative effects.

June marks the start of meteorological summer, and warmer-than-normal temperatures are in store for much of the country. How will this early summer warmth impact precipitation patterns and drought conditions?

Summary: This interactive map provides customized information about your community’s risk ratings for 18 natural hazards and creates a pre-filtered list of funding opportunities that can help build resilience to hazards your community faces.

When a container vessel crashed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge and caused it to collapse, ship traffic to the area halted, and train and truck traffic dropped dramatically. NOAA researchers realized they could capture unique data while the port was shuttered.

Around the world, from the surface waters to the seafloor, our oceans are warming, and we are beginning to adapt to and prepare for this change in our climate.

Low sea ice cover in the northern Bering and Chukchi Seas over back-to-back winters 2018 to 2019 caused a cascade of impacts on the regional marine ecosystem, compounding challenges faced by the communities that rely on it.

A new study concludes that the range of possible sea surface temperature conditions in the North Atlantic could more than double by the mid-21st century, leading to vastly different climate outcomes.

Models used in a new study indicate that the primary driver of productivity changes in the California Current System will involve the nitrate concentration in subsurface waters rather than upwelling strength.
