Research shows waves in southern California and the North Pacific have increased in size and intensity over the past half century due to stronger wind and storm activity. The approach direction of winter ocean swells has rotated from northwesterly to westerly, reducing natural sheltering effects and increasing direct impacts on the coast.

Satellite data confirms that plant life above 40 degrees north latitude has been growing more vigorously since 1981, with Eurasia showing more pronounced greening than North America. The existing vegetation has increased in density, but the area of vegetation has not extended.
The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) spacecraft will continue to provide vital data on global rainfall and climate change with its extended mission. Scientists anticipate improved climate predictions and a more robust record of rainfall patterns.
Research found that heavy rainfall precedes most waterborne disease outbreaks in the US, with extreme precipitation levels increasing outbreak risk. The study analyzed data from 1948-1994 and found a significant association between precipitation and waterborne disease outbreaks.

Researchers at NOAA's National Climate Data Center found evidence that the rate of global warming is accelerating, with recent record high temperatures surpassing expectations. The study analyzed data from 1997 to 1999 and concluded that the rate of warming since 1976 is greater than previously predicted.
