A new study led by AOML and CIMAS scientists further shows that the impacts of Atlantic Niño/Niña on tropical cyclones are not limited to the Atlantic basin (i.e., hurricanes), but also extend to the western North Pacific basin (i.e., typhoons) through inter-basin teleconnections.

The flow of the Florida Current, one of the most powerful ocean currents in the world, has been measured by a submarine telecommunications cable between Florida and the Bahamas since 1982. Unfortunately, this record was interrupted in November 2023 due to a mechanical failure of the cable. Building on prior research, a new study presents an alternative method to continue providing the Florida Current daily transport estimates until the cable can be repaired.

In celebration of National Intern Day, NOAA’s Atlantic Oceanographic & Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) is proud to recognize its FY 2025 class of interns. Ranging from high school to graduate students, these talented individuals are gaining hands-on experience across a wide array of research areas—including coral reefs, microbial ecology, hurricanes, ocean acidification, physical oceanography, science communication, […] The post AOML’s 2025 intern cohort gains first-hand research exp...| NOAA's Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory
Phytoplankton covering the ocean’s surface are responsible for over 50% of the oxygen that has been produced on Earth. In a spoonful of oceanwater, there are thousands of these microscopic organisms of different species. And without them, most – if not all – marine food webs would collapse. Studying what species comprise planktonic communities in […] The post AOML is honored with NOPP Excellence in Partnering Award appeared first on NOAA's Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological L...| NOAA's Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory
From July 14-16, NOAA’s Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) and the University of Reading held the inaugural Joint US-UK Symposium on Emerging Technologies for High Impact Weather in Reading, UK. Through this collaboration, AOML sought to bring together subject matter experts from the government, academia, and industry on both sides of the Atlantic. The post Joint US-UK Symposium on Emerging Technologies for High Impact Weather appeared first on NOAA's Atlantic Ocean...| NOAA's Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory
In a new study, scientists found a link between the long-lasting 2023 heatwave over the southwest US and Mexico and the record warm sea surface temperatures in both the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean.| NOAA's Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory
Originally published as an official press release on the University of Miami’s Rosenstiel School’s newsroom website. Atlantic Niño/Niña events can influence hurricane development, but they can be difficult to predict. A new study sheds light on the oceanic chain reaction that can trigger these events, potentially improving our ability to forecast them. A new study […] The post New study reveals record heat and rapid cooling in equatorial Atlantic in 2024 appeared first on NOAA's Atlan...| NOAA's Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory
