Decades of data show African weather disturbances intensify during La Niña African easterly waves, which directly impact communities in Africa, the Caribbean, and the Americas, are shown to intensify during La Niña, advancing our understanding of how these weather systems in...

A study led by scientists at @miamirosenstiel.bsky.social and NCAR @ncar-ucar.bsky.social reveals how a major global climate pattern influences the African weather systems that help seed Atlantic hurricanes.

At the University of Miami's NOAA Cooperative institute for Marine and Atmospheric Studies based at the Rosenstiel School, hurricane research is making great strides to improve forecast accuracy which ultimately saves lives and property.

Tonight CGWaveS is headed back to Texas. So many storms! @miamirosenstiel.bsky.social

Just landed at 4:21 am. 8 hour flight, lots of data. @miamirosenstiel.bsky.social

Getting ready to fly @miamirosenstiel.bsky.social

On this day we celebrate the wonder the ocean ignites in all of us. #worldoceanday

Scientists discover 230 new giant viruses that shape ocean life and health Study reveals new insights into giant viruses and their role in marine ecosystems and human health

A new study from scientists at the Rosenstiel School may help unravel the many types of viruses present in our waterways and oceans.

Tonight CGWaves is surveying the storms in Kansas. @miamirosenstiel.bsky.social

The NCAR G-V is heading for Texas tonight for CGWaveS. @miamirosenstiel.bsky.social

Good evening! Last night the NCAR G-V observed thunderstorms in Colorado and Kansas as part of CGWaveS. @miamirosenstiel.bsky.social

The first CGWaves research flight is scheduled for tonight! This is the plan, which could change a bit during the flight. @miamirosenstiel.bsky.social

A team of scientists from the University of Miami Rosenstiel School, GATS, Inc. Embry-Riddle University and UCAR-NCAR- NSF kick off CGWaveS (Convective Gravity Waves in the Stratosphere) to understand how they form and influence weather. This research aims to improve weather and climate forecast models.

Scientists @davenolan305.bsky.social, GATS, Inc., Embry-Riddle University & @ncar-ucar.bsky.social kicked off CGWaveS campaign (Convective Gravity Waves in the Stratosphere) to study how gravity waves influence the atmosphere. The aim is to improve weather and climate forecasts. Supported by NSF.

We'll be flying the NSF/NCAR Gulfstream V around thunderstorms at night. 9 flights in 28 days. A lidar pointing out the top of the plane will measure gravity waves in the stratosphere. @miamirosenstiel.bsky.social

February 2025 La Niña update: La Niña today, gone tomorrow? Weak La Niña conditions continued in January, but a transition to ENSO-neutral in the near future is likely.

La Niña conditions continue, but forecasters estimate a 66% chance of a switch to neutral in March–May. This is looking like a weak and short La Niña. Also, while La Niña’s ocean conditions are currently weak, the atmospheric component is fairly strong. Check out Emily Becker’s blog 👇
