A new study published in the journal Nature Geoscience led by scientists at University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory, found that human-induced environmental changes around Antarctica are contributing to sea level rise in the North Atlantic.

<p><em>Analysis of mooring observations and hydrographic data suggest the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation deep water limb in the North Atlantic has weakened. Two decades of continual observations provide a greater understanding of the Earth’s climate regulating system.</em></p>

Historically, La Niñas have produced busy tropical seasons, while the opposite is known to be true during El Niños - when conditions are typically hostile for cyclones in the Atlantic basin.

As of 2020, just 2% of meteorologists identified as Black, but efforts are underway to add diversity to the field.

A new paper finds that Caribbean Islands are uniquely susceptible to sudden droughts, and advocates for alternative methodologies to more accurately measure dry conditions in the region.

The Caribbean islands are uniquely susceptible to "flash droughts," according to new research.

In the sun-soaked islands in the Caribbean, drought conditions can occur much more rapidly, with warning signs appearing too late for mediation strategies to limit agriculture losses or prevent stresses on infrastructure systems.
