Subseasonal forecasting, or the ability to predict weather trends two weeks to two months in advance, is a capability highly sought after in various economic sectors, including energy, water management, and agriculture. Reliable forecasts on this scale have thus far been largely out of reach, but researchers at the U.S. National Science Foundation National Center for Atmospheric Research (NSF NCAR) are leveraging AI to see if it helps them grasp this elusive capability.

Scientists are working to identify future weather changes at national parks.

Melting and breaking icebergs in the far-off, northeastern region of the Pacific Ocean can weaken a massive current system in the Atlantic Ocean, according to a study by researchers at University of California, Davis and the U.S National Science Foundation National Center for Atmospheric Research. 

NSF NCAR scientists can address media questions about various aspects of El Niño.
