Today, the Department of Commerce and NOAA announced $200,000 in funding to support extreme heat preparedness and response planning as part of the Biden-Harris Administration’s Inflation Reduction Act. This funding is supporting communities at a critical time — 2023 was the hottest year on record globally, and July 22, 2024, was Earth’s hottest day on record.
New research describes one of the processes driving the North Pacific’s trajectory into uncharted waters.

NOAA and United Airlines have announced an agreement to equip a Boeing 737 with a sophisticated instrument package that will measure greenhouse gases and other pollutants during domestic flights. It’s a first step in establishing a partnership that could significantly improve monitoring of carbon dioxide, methane and other greenhouse gases, as well as improving the accuracy of weather forecasts in the United States.
As atmospheric greenhouse gas levels continue to rise, it is important to understand the basics of what these gases are, how NOAA monitors them, and what they mean for our global climate. Continue reading to learn all about carbon dioxide and why it keeps making headlines.

As climate change continues to supercharge storms that threaten existing infrastructure, there’s an urgent need to modernize estimates of probable maximum precipitation and improve the science behind them.
New research by a team including current and former NOAA-affiliated scientists has shown that atmospheric concentrations of a class of ozone-depleting chemicals used as refrigerants,
