Weather data from nation’s largest wind farms could improve U.S. models, forecasts
Two of the nation’s largest producers of wind-generated electric power will share weather data with NOAA, providing additional observations from wind farms across the nation for research and operations.
New study finds direct evidence of summer climate change
In many parts of the world, summers just aren’t what they were a generation or two ago. Summer climates in some places are changing—mostly, but not always, warming—according to a new analysis of 90 years of observational data.
New NOAA study more optimistic on future of Great Plains drought

Research meteorologist Keith Dixon studies climate at NOAA’s Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL). During his more than twenty years at GFDL, Keith’s research has focused on using complex computer models to study climate change and variability. In this Research Matters podcast, Keith discusses the role of GFDL in climate modeling, what a model is, and how researchers work to improve models. Listen or read the transcript. |
