Modelers are working to better understand climate drivers of ecosystem uncertainties in Earth system models used in fishery management.

On October 5, 2021, retired former NOAA scientist Syukuro “Suki” Manabe was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics for his contributions to climate science.

A new video by the National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS) shows how drought is changing daily life in the southwestern United States.

Wildfires emit short-lived, nitrogen-containing gases that can contribute to air-quality issues. Modeling these gases has been difficult because their chemical reactions are rapid and spatially dispersed. A new field campaign studies the reactions to improve models.

NOAA has signed an agreement with the State Department to support an island-led initiative to cope with climate change impacts.

The U.S. Climate Resilience Toolkit has launched a new Northern Great Plains Region section. It offers information on the impacts of climate change across the Northern Great Plains, and how people can build resilience.

The Pacific’s El Niño-Southern Oscillation climate pattern interacts with a climate pattern in the Indian Ocean. New research sheds light on this connection.

New research finds that, although megadroughts in the southwestern United States may be unavoidable, reducing greenhouse gas emissions can mitigate conditions.

Accelerated Arctic warming may drive extreme winter weather in the United States, according to new research.

Northeast Pacific heatwaves and extreme California droughts are likely to strike at the same time much more often by the end of the 21st century, a new study says.
