By addressing the vulnerability of structures to extreme snow loads, a new study aims to revolutionize design standards outlined by the American Society of Civil Engineers, an integral part of building codes in the United States.

Recent evidence suggests that detritus from fishes and gelatinous zooplankton may have a disproportionate impact on the ocean’s biological pump because they sink approximately 10 times faster than bulk detritus.

A new climate-projection project that will spotlight extreme sea level events along the U.S. East Coast, zeroing in on the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation as a key player in influencing mean sea level variations and weather events.

New research evaluates how changing climate may affect fish catch, fish distributions, and food web structure in the upper 600 meters of the ocean.

A newly published dataset provides insights into the oceanographic conditions within the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary (OCNMS) over nearly two decades, shedding light on marine heat waves, seasonal upwelling, hypoxia, and ocean acidification.

After a brief respite, the stratospheric polar vortex is expected to weaken again, and another major sudden stratospheric warming could be on the way.

An arctic air mass brought bitter cold and snow to much of the nation in mid-January; powerful storms brought heavy rainfall and flooding to parts of the Southern Plains.

Last year's marine heat wave and coral bleaching was so unprecedented, NOAA had to add new risk levels to this satellite-based monitoring scale.

A La Niña Watch has been issued by NOAA's Climate Prediction Center. But also, we are still in El Niño! Confused? Let the ENSO bloggers explain.

2023 “exceptional” drought would have been two categories weaker and ~30 times less likely in a world without global warming.
