A powerful El Niño is already influencing extreme weather around the planet. During the last strong El Niño, federal agencies ramped up research in the hope of improving weather forecasts. This year, they won't be matching that effort.

We can no longer pretend that A.I. is safe.

Abstract. Supporting stakeholders with science-based decision-making to mitigate and adapt to climate change impacts is a central mandate of the climate research community. In particular, mapping out ...

State of the Science Blog by Colin Raymond (UCLA) The last few years have seen considerable progress toward identifying the atmospheric processes that control the most intense humid-heat episodes1,…

Nature Reviews Earth & Environment - Compound weather and climate events in 2025

Abstract. Multi-hazard events pose increasingly complex challenges as natural hazards interact in cascading and compounding ways that amplify risks beyond individual hazards. Understanding these inter...

Field notes from New Orleans, where I and 20,000 colleagues learned that Trump intends to destroy the National Center for Atmospheric Research.

The unfortunate reality is we're going to be learning about WBTs the hard way more and more—so let's dig into what they are & what we can do to stay safe.

Within an ensemble, projected changes from individual downscaled models can differ dramatically pre and post downscaling Reliable interpretations require maximum retention of ensemble information...
