Researchers examine glaciers' effects on ocean acidification in Prince William Sound
Three unmanned vessels called “gliders” and a tour boat equipped with special scientific equipment will be cruising Prince William Sound this summer gathering data about acidification and the effects of glacial melt on it.
Climate models show carbon emission mitigation could slow Arctic temperature increases
PMEL-led research using climate model predictions concludes the Arctic climate will continue to show major changes over the next decades.
Climate models show carbon emission mitigation could slow Arctic temperature increases
NOAA-led research using climate model projections concludes the Arctic climate will continue to show major changes over the next decades, but that carbon emission mitigation could slow temperature changes in the second half of the century, according to a paper published by AGU’s Earth’s Future.
We the Geeks: “Polar Vortex” and Extreme Weather
PMEL's Dr. Jim Overland was one of the experts for the White House Google+ We the Geeks talks on the Polar Vortex and Extreme Weather.
Polar Vortex: Temperatures Fall Far, Fast
Meteorologists called it “weather whiplash” — a drop of roughly 50 degrees in a matter of hours that took temperatures from 55 in Central Park on Monday morning to a record low of 5 overnight and an expected high on Tuesday of only 10. The last time temperatures in New York fell that much in such a short time, Warren G. Harding was in the White House.
