Data: NOAA; Chart: Alice Feng/AxiosA double whammy of natural climate cycles and human-caused climate change will likely make next year Earth's warmest on record, climate experts tell Axios. The big picture: Forecasters now expect that a moderate El Niño, the climate pattern characterized by warmer-than-usual sea surface temperatures, will develop…

The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Office of Marine Sanctuaries has taken the next step in the process of designating the Pacific Remote Islands as a national marine sanctuary. A “Notice of Intent to Conduct Scoping and Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement” was issued today, according to NOAA. The…

SAN FRANCISCO – The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is soliciting proposals for research and development on microwave weather sensors, ground systems and technology to reduce interference from 5G networks.    Three Broad Agency Announcements released April 13 reveal some of the National Environmental Satellite Data and Information Service (NESDIS)…

(NEXSTAR) – Move aside La Niña – it’s almost time for El Niño to take over. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Climate Prediction Center issued an “El Niño watch” Thursday morning, saying the climate pattern is expected to form sooner than previously anticipated. After La Niña ended last month, we entered “ENSO-neutral”…

WASHINGTON — The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is once again requesting a significant budget increase for future weather satellite programs after Congress cut its funding request for 2023. In its fiscal year 2024 budget proposal, recently posted online, NOAA requested $417.4 million for the Geostationary Extended Observations, or GeoXO,…

The Invisible Problem: How carbon warms Earth The Invisible Problem: Understanding how carbon is warming the Earth 09:22 Climate scientists have made one thing clear: Staving off the worst impacts of global temperature rise requires widespread and immediate action to minimize greenhouse gas emissions. Even still, a new report shows…

New analysis has found increasing emissions of several ozone-depleting chemicals despite their production being banned for most uses under the Montreal Protocol – and a loophole in the rules is likely responsible. The University of Bristol and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) research, which was published Monday in Nature…

The bottom of the ocean experiences heatwaves, too. That might seem like common sense, but until recently, scientists weren’t aware that ocean heatwaves spread across the bottom of the ocean, too. Instead, they believed that they were only found on the surface. Thankfully new research has helped shed light on…
