As climate change amplifies water stressors across the United States, not all areas feel the same pinch. Join the Western Water Assessment’s call for public comment on a climate assessment draft on January 12, 2023.
Climate.gov collaborated with Arctic experts to produce a collection of magazine-quality data visualizations for the 2022 Annual Arctic Report Card. Report editors used the images in their story about the report card in The Conversation.
Recent research has suggested possible ozone recovery in the upper stratosphere and decreasing ozone in the lower stratosphere. A new study supports a declining ozone trend in the lower stratosphere but no ozone “recovery” in the upper stratosphere.
A new study examines how rising global temperatures may affect weather patterns in the region stretching from the east coasts of China and Taiwan, and Japan.
A new story map recounts how NOAA scientists raced against nature to save their most valuable scientific instruments in the Bering Sea in 2021. This interactive map highlights the recovery efforts, unique data collected, and implications for management.
November 30 marked the official end to the 2022 Atlantic hurricane season. This year, NOAA’s AOML coordinated the longest series of missions into a single tropical system, deployed new uncrewed aircraft technology, and included a novel capability in hurricane modeling.
NOAA has released a new strategy and invited the public to listening sessions to guide the agency’s potential role in carbon dioxide removal from Earth’s atmosphere. Virtual sessions are scheduled for Mon Dec 12 @ 3 p.m. ET, and Weds Dec 14 at 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET. Registration required.
A new study suggests that ships may be spreading stony coral tissue loss disease across Florida and the Caribbean. Experiments used ultraviolet treatment of ship ballast water to see if it could transport pathogens, and whether ultraviolet treatment of this water could prevent the spread of this disease.
GFDL Physical Scientist Ming Zhao has been awarded the 2022 American Geophysical Union’s Ascent Award for his “growing research accomplishments and leadership in climate model development.” Zhao conducts research focused on challenging topics with societal and economic implications while also developing climate models.
Heat extremes are the leading weather-related cause of death in the United States, driving the need for accurate prediction. A new study finds an increase in summertime heat wave occurrence over the US Great Plains is linked to a larger than normal tropical Atlantic warm pool.
