NOAA and Oshen robots bring back key wind and pressure data from Hurricane Humberto A small, wind–powered ocean robot became the first uncrewed surface vehicle to capture and transmit data from inside a Category 5 hurricane on Sunday, September 28, as part of research by NOAA, the United Kingdom-based robotics company, Oshen, and the University […] The post World first: Mini ocean robot collects data in a Category 5 hurricane appeared first on NOAA's Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorologi...| NOAA's Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory
This is the 'beauty shot version' of Perpetual Ocean 2: Western Boundary Currents. The visualization starts with a rotating globe showing ocean currents. The camera then zooms into the Kuroshio current, moves over the Indian Ocean to the Agulhas Current, then over to the Gulf Stream. The flows from the surface down to 600 meters deep are all white. Flows below 600 meters depth use the blue-cyan-white color table below.| NASA Scientific Visualization Studio

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. The post Ensuring Continuity: A ...| 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 […]| NOAA's Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory
