Making waves in hurricane prediction
More accurately predicting periods of increased hurricane activity weeks in advance may become possible due to new research published this month. Research from NSF NCAR shows that twice as many hurricanes form two days after the passing of large-scale atmospheric waves called Kelvin waves than in the days before.

A school of new data about how climate impacts fisheries
NSF NCAR scientists have linked together multiple state-of-the-art computer models to create a detailed picture of how conditions in the atmosphere affect the ocean; how the ocean, in turn, affects the growth of phytoplankton and zooplankton; and finally, how the small fish that eat zooplankton (and the bigger fish that eat them) are impacted.
