A new study focuses on land-atmosphere interactions affecting phenomena such as droughts, heatwaves, and rainfall patterns. High-frequency data from climate models support more detailed understanding.

It was the warmest winter on record for the contiguous U.S.

The area where the megafires broke out wasn't even in drought. Conditions deteriorated rapidly in less than a week.

A new scientific review highlights existing evidence suggesting that air pollutants, including aerosols and trace gases, can influence weather and climate systems through intricate interactions with meteorology and ecosystems.

New research shows that ocean dynamics like the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) tripole pattern and the Atlantic Multidecadal Variability (AMV) pattern play a critical role in enhancing sea-surface temperature variability.

While local government and community members are more aware of the importance of managing heat risk in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, few targeted initiatives currently address heat risk mitigation.

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.

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.
