Scientists detail research needed to assess the viability and risks of...
As atmospheric greenhouse gases rise and climate change impacts get costlier, the scientific community is redoubling efforts to investigate the potential risks and benefits of artificially shading…
View ArticleInnovative flight patterns boost hurricane forecast accuracy, NOAA study finds
For decades, NOAA has used jets to collect data from around hurricanes. A new study finds that a second flight path closer to the hurricane’s center improves forecast accuracy.
View ArticleDeep learning techniques succeed in improving ENSO forecasting
A new study demonstrates an innovative approach combining two artificial intelligence methods to predict a key ENSO indicator up to a year and a half in advance. The method proved capable of…
View ArticleFirst-of-its-kind experiment illuminates wildfires in unprecedented detail
A new study shows it’s possible to collect measurements of fire and smoke chemistry, weather conditions, and smoke plume dynamics in real time around an active wildfire.
View ArticleNo sign of greenhouse gases increases slowing in 2023
Levels of the three most important human-caused greenhouse gases – carbon dioxide (CO2), methane and nitrous oxide – continued their steady climb during 2023, according to NOAA scientists.

Tropical deep convection is one of the leading sources of uncertainty in future projections of the Earth’s temperature. There are uncertainties in the radiative response of convective clouds, which…
View ArticleCalifornia is the largest emitter of greenhouse gas sulfuryl fluoride
The use of sulfuryl fluoride as a pesticide has raised concerns due to its potent greenhouse gas properties. A new study reveals California as the largest emitter, particularly in coastal regions…
View ArticleAdSci-funded research supports a rural coastal community to become resilient
The Adaptation Sciences research program funded a project to assess vulnerability to sea level rise and implement feasible strategies to cope.
View ArticleThe Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation is weakening in the deep sea...
Cold, dense water from the Southern Ocean transfers heat and carbon to the Northern Hemisphere via the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. But a new study finds that the northward transport…
