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 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

Scientists analyzed nearly four decades of ocean observations along the Abaco 26.5°N hydrographic line and found evidence of significant cooling and freshening of the deep ocean at 26.5°N.| NOAA's Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory
Extreme hydroclimate events, such as droughts, floods, and heavy rainfall, account for a substantial portion of weather-related disasters in the US..| NOAA's Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory
A recent study by scientists at AOML found that extensive weakening of the AMOC occurred in the 2000s, but has paused since the early 2010s due to a tug-of-war between the natural and anthropogenic signals.| NOAA's Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory
