Weather Forecast Accuracy Gets Boost with New Computer Model
An advanced forecasting model that predicts several types of extreme weather with substantially improved accuracy has been adopted for day-to-day operational use by civilian and military weather forecasters. view more (2006-08-28)
GOES-11 Sees Tropical Cyclones Fizzling and Forming in the Eastern Pacific
There are a lot of ups and downs in tropical cyclone formation in the Pacific Ocean this week, and that's keeping NOAA's GOES-11 satellite busy. There are remnants of Maka and Tropical Depression 9E, a fizzled Felicia, and a new Tropical Storm named Guillermo. view more (2009-08-14)
Coral bleaching increases chances of coral disease
Mass coral bleaching has devastated coral colonies around the world for almost three decades. Now scientists have found that bleaching can make corals more susceptible to disease and, in turn, coral disease can exacerbate the negative effects of bleaching. view more (2009-10-02)
NASA satellite sees Olaf stretch out and fizzle over northwestern mainland Mexico
Tropical Storm Olaf wasn't given much of a chance when he was born, and he never did make it to hurricane strength before fizzling out late Saturday night. view more (2009-10-06)
The power of two: Envisat demonstrates combined imagery from dual sensors
The simultaneous observation of the Italian coast by two instruments onboard the European Space Agency's Envisat satellite provides a striking illustration of the unique potential of combining sensor data for a better understanding of complex Earth processes. Envisat's Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar (ASAR) and the Medium Resolution Imaging... view more... (2002-11-04)
Ocean spray lubricates hurricane winds
Hurricane Emily's 140-mile-per-hour winds, which last week blew roofs off hotels and flattened trees throughout the Caribbean, owed their force to an unlikely culprit - ocean spray. view more (2005-07-26)
Scientists debate the accuracy of Al Gore's documentary
There is no question that Al Gore's 2006 documentary An Inconvenient Truth is a powerful example of how scientific knowledge can be communicated to a lay audience. What is up for debate is whether it accurately presents the scientific argument that global warming is caused by human activities. view more (2008-04-15)
Major flooding risk could span decades after Chinese earthquake
Up to 20 million people, thousands of whom are already displaced from their homes following the devastating Chinese earthquake, are at increased risk from flooding and major power shortages in the massive Sichuan Basin over the next few decades and possibly centuries. view more (2008-09-05)
Certain cognitive behavioral therapy appears beneficial for female veterans with PTSD
Using a cognitive behavioral therapy called "prolonged exposure" appears more effective than "present-centered" therapy, a supportive intervention to treat female military veterans and active duty women with posttraumatic stress disorder. view more (2007-02-28)
NASA's Advanced Technology Peers Deep Inside Hurricanes
Determined to understand why some storms grow into hurricanes while others fizzle, NASA scientists recently looked deep into thunderstorms off the African coast using satellites and airplanes. view more (2007-03-07)
Children show strong preference for those smiled on by fate
Children as young as five to seven years of age prefer lucky individuals over the less fortunate, according to new research by psychologists at Harvard University and Stanford University. view more (2006-11-08)
NASA Satellites See Ida Spreading Out Before Landfall
NASA's Aqua and Terra satellites are keeping a close eye on Tropical Storm Ida, and both have instruments aboard that show her clouds and rains are already widespread inland over the U.S. Gulf coast states. view more (2009-11-10)
U.S. needs nearly $200 million more on climate-related health research
A recent commentary suggests that the U.S. should spend roughly $197 million more than it currently does to research the impact of climate change on public health. view more (2009-09-28)
Accuracy of past hurricane counts good
Counting tropical storms that occurred before the advent of aircraft and satellites relies on ships logs and hurricane landfalls, making many believe that the numbers of historic tropical storms in the Atlantic are seriously undercounted. view more (2007-11-26)
Water scarcity will create global security concerns
Water scarcity as a result of climate change will create far-reaching global security concerns, says Dr. Rajendra K. Pachauri, chair of the intergovernmental panel on climate change, a co-recipient of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize. view more (2009-10-07)
Still a Low Chance of Development for Two Lows

New research in Chesapeake Bay, Pamlico Sound shows hurricanes, runoff tax water quality management efforts
A scientific study that involved analyzing phytoplankton in both North Carolina's Neuse River Estuary/Pamlico Sound and Maryland and Virginia's Chesapeake Bay offers a new lesson in light of recent increased hurricane activity along the East Coast, researchers say. view more (2005-12-23)
How intense will storms get? New model helps answer question
A new mathematical model indicates that dust devils, water spouts, tornadoes, hurricanes and cyclones are all born of the same mechanism and will intensify as climate change warms the Earth's surface. view more (2008-07-09)
Baja watching Tropical Storm Patricia in the latest GOES-11 satellite movie
