Warming of Antarctic deep-sea waters contribute to sea level rise in North Atlantic, study finds

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.

Ready to fly into the eye of a storm

Ten scientists from the University of Miami Cooperative Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Studies at the Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science serve on NOAA’s Hurricane Field Program, gathering critical data about tropical cyclones from the cabin of a small aircraft. And their efforts help advance scientific knowledge.
