NOAA upgrades climate website amid growing demand for climate information

October 12, 2021

NOAA’s Climate Program Office today launched a newly redesigned version of Climate.gov, NOAA’s award-winning, flagship website that provides the public with clear, timely, and science-based information about climate. The redesign expands the site’s already significant capacity to connect Americans with the resources they need to understand and plan for climate-related risks.

NOAA’s new uncrewed glider poised to help vastly increase high-altitude research

October 7, 2021

NOAA scientists are testing a reliable, low-tech, uncrewed glider that can return a small payload of scientific instruments from the stratosperhere to a pre-determined landing spot, potentially opening up vast new reaches of the atmosphere to scientific investigation.

2020’s Economic Slowdown Provides Opportunity to Investigate Ozone Pollution in the U.S.

September 17, 2021

When COVID-19 pandemic began in the US, counties and cities across the nation imposed stay at home orders, closed schools or imposed travel restrictions. From March 2020 onward, many Americans hung up car keys and settled into their homes for work and school. Traffic patterns dramatically changed, and previously smog filled vistas became clearer.

Study: Dry future likely unavoidable for Southwest, but reducing greenhouse gases can still help

September 8, 2021

A new study shows that, regardless of future levels of greenhouse gas emissions, the warming climate has locked in an elevated risk of intense megadroughts for the region – but mitigation efforts are still important.

NOAA scientist Vaishali Naik plays a leading role in international climate assessment

August 9, 2021

“I wanted to do something related to the environment,” Naik said. “It became clear to me during my studies that pollutants are not just harmful for human health, but they also impact the climate.”

Human activities responsible for rapid increase in Earth’s heat

July 28, 2021

A new study by Princeton University and NOAA researchers has found clear evidence of human influence on Earth’s climate in the past two decades of satellite measurements. “Human activity strongly influenced the positive trend in Earth's energy imbalance, causing a significant increase in the heat stored in the planet,” said Shiv Priyam Raghuraman, the lead researcher on the study.
