A new product that alerts pilots to clouds, icy conditions and dangerously cold temperatures is tapping into NOAA’s Joint Polar Satellite System’s satellites for the critical data it needs.

NASA-NOAA’s Suomi NPP satellite provided forecasters with a visible image of the landfall of Tropical Storm Higos on Aug. 18.

Lightning is a random act of nature that can strike at any time of the year, most often during summer months.

NOAA and World View Enterprises are teaming up to take a uniquely detailed look at the composition of Earth’s stratosphere.

The researchers established conclusively that penguins arose in the cool coastal regions of Australia and New Zealand, not frigid Antarctica, as many scientists thought.

NASA-NOAA’s Suomi NPP satellite kept an eye on Hurricane Genevieve overnight and provided infrared imagery to forecasters who were monitoring the storm’s strength, structure and size.

Very powerful storms with heavy rainmaking capability reach high into the atmosphere and those have very cold cloud top temperatures.

NASA-NOAA’s Suomi NPP satellite passed over the South China Sea and captured a visible image of Tropical Storm Higos. Higos is headed for landfall in southeastern China.

Ground-breaking scientific research will make it easier to predict the path of some of the world’s most powerful storms, enabling communities to better protect themselves from severe flooding.

Methane fluxes from lakes are considerably higher during the day than the night, according to a study conducted by LiU researchers.
