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.

NSF NCAR scientists are studying key aspects of wildfires.

Increased atmospheric moisture may alter critical weather patterns over Africa, making it more difficult for the predecessors of many Atlantic hurricanes to form, according to a new study published this month.

A proposal to counter warming temperatures by brightening marine clouds could become ineffective.

The carbon stored globally by plants is shorter-lived and more vulnerable to climate change than previously thought.
