Buoys play pivotal role to improve coastal weather forecasting

Researchers from the Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science are spearheading an experiment that will help forecasters better understand how coastal land, air, and sea interactions influence weather events. The study recently completed its final deployment of buoys in Gulf of Mexico waters near the Florida Panhandle.

Climate crisis to worsen intensity, frequency of atmospheric rivers

A “parade” of atmospheric river storms that have pummeled California since late December is finally ending, and drier days are ahead. But as the Earth’s climate continues to warm, atmospheric rivers will only become more frequent and intense, warns a University of Miami scientist.
