The American Meteorological Society has released a Rapid Response Statement following this week's Trump Administration announcement regarding the National Center for Atmospheric Research.

Early online research published in journals of the American Meteorological Society highlights topics including a change in airflow over the Antarctic Peninsula, rural heat, hot and dry extremes in India, a major upgrade to the UK's Global Seasonal forecasting system (GloSea6), and an unusual trigger of volcanic rain.

New research shows that the green transition in agriculture is more complex than first assumed. The research indicates that green political decisions need to take the entire system into account.

The oceanic conditions that churn up the very strongest of hurricanes and typhoons are heating up in the North Atlantic and Western Pacific, fueled by warm water that extends well below the surface. Human-caused climate change may be responsible for up to 70% of the growth of storm-brewing hotspots there, according to new research to be presented at AGU’s 2025 Annual Meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana, on Wednesday, 17 December.

The University of Florida recently received the Excellence in Partnering Award by the National Oceanographic Partnership Program for its collaborative, multi-institutional effort aimed at improving prediction of coastal storm impacts.

A new Harvard study pinpoints human-caused climate change as a key driver of western U.S. wildfire activity over the last three decades, accounting for 65% of total fire emissions from 1997-2020. Nearly half of the exposure to harmful fine-particulate matter wildfire smoke, or PM2.5, from 1997-2020 is directly linked to climate change.
