The Cooperative Institute for Modeling the Earth System (CIMES) was successfully renewed for another five years under award NA23OAR4320198 from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). CIMES is an outgrowth of a highly successful fifty-year collaboration between Princeton University’s Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences (AOS)…
The World's Marco Werman spoke with Gabriel Vecchi, a climate scientist at Princeton University, about the reasons behind the intensification and how this is becoming much more common. (05:41 Audio)
From north to south, temperatures are surging as greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere and combine with effects from El Niño. (Vecchi mention)
Unprecedented Atlantic Ocean heating and El Niño in the Pacific are pushing the climate into uncharted territory
The warming trend in global temperature continued in 2022, which was the sixth-warmest year on record, according to a recent report from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. But a viral tweet — using just a small segment of a NOAA graph — wrongly claimed the agency had announced a “global cooling” trend.

Areas of low-oxygen water stretch for thousands of miles through the world’s oceans. The largest of these “oxygen minimum zones” (OMZs) is found along the Pacific coast of North and South America, centered off the coast of Mexico.
Until recently, climate models have been unable to say whether OMZs will grow or shrink from climate…
A typhoon, smoke from wildfires and increasing rain are not what most imagine when thinking of the Arctic. Yet these are some of the climate-driven events included in NOAA’s 2022 Arctic Report Card, which provides a detailed picture of how warming is…
