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.
In contrast with the global models used for the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Report, a new model offers a 10-fold improvement in spatial resolution over the contiguous United States, to better resolve cities, mountain valleys, thunderstorms, and urban-to-rural air quality variations.
The Department of Commerce and NOAA have announced $4.55 million in funding for two virtual centers of excellence to support community heat monitoring and resilience. One center will be based out of Durham, North Carolina. The other will be based out of Los Angeles.
A new forecast provides people with pollen allergies and respiratory conditions a data-driven tool that estimates when and where pollen will cause higher allergen exposure and respiratory irritation levels.
Scientists at NOAA’s Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory are investigating how crucial reef-building coral species are affected by the impacts of climate change using a suite of open-source robotic arms.
NOAA Sea Grant-funded research and work with coastal and Great Lakes communities across the nation are being highlighted in a special issue of “Oceanography,” the official journal of The Oceanography Society.
Traversing from Fremantle, Australia to Antarctica’s Prydz Bay and back again, the crew aboard the Research Vessel Thomas G. Thompson successfully concluded the I08S GO-SHIP cruise on April 1, 2024.
Wind, waves, and icebergs pierced through morning fog – the A13.5 GO-SHIP cruise proved both tumultuous and rewarding with vast amounts of new data that bring the promise of groundbreaking future research.
Modeling suggests that, under a warming climate, extreme near-surface wind speeds will increase by up to 3 percent towards the poles while decreasing by a similar amount in the lower midlatitudes.
