Jon Petch, the deputy director in the UK Met Office responsible for weather science, has been named director of the Climate and Global Dynamics Laboratory (CGD) at NCAR.

A new computer modeling technique developed by NCAR scientists offers the potential to generate months-ahead summertime drought forecasts across the Western United States with the capability of differentiating between dry conditions at locations just a couple of miles apart.

The catastrophic Australian bushfires in 2019-2020 contributed to ocean cooling thousands of miles away, ultimately nudging the Tropical Pacific into a rare multi-year La Niña event that dissipated only recently.

Simulated volcanic eruptions may be blowing up our ability to predict near-term climate, according to a new study published in Science Advances.

A new study has generated the first broad assessment of bottom marine heat waves in the productive continental shelf waters surrounding North America.
