The Summary. NOAA's winter forecast outlook predicts above-average precipitation in the Northwest and Great Lakes regions. The rest of the country faces either an average or warm and dry winter.
As climate change continues to alter the world around us, researchers have now taken a deep dive into the Great Lakes, uncovering that the lakes are experiencing a loss of 14 winter days per decade.
MILWAUKEE — A cool December may be priming the Great Lakes for a starkly different ice season after scientists saw a record-low level of ice cover this year, according to a new forecast. The U.S ...
Climate Prediction Center monitors and forecasts short-term climate fluctuations and provides information on the effects climate patterns can have on the nation. Environmental Modeling Center develops and improves numerical weather, climate, hydrological and ocean prediction through a broad program in partnership with the research community.
Weather Buoy / Data Buoy / Oceanographic Buoy operated by the Marine Data Service. The first known proposal for surface weather observations at sea occurred in connection with aviation in August 1927, when Grover Loening stated that "weather stations along the ocean coupled with the development of the seaplane to have an equally long range, would result in regular ocean flights within ten years."
Marine weather forecasting is the process by which mariners and meteorological organizations attempt to forecast future weather conditions over the Earth's oceans. Mariners have had rules of thumb regarding the navigation around tropical cyclones for many years, dividing a storm into halves and sailing through the normally weaker and more ...
Seasonal ice coverage on the Great Lakes has been on a downward trend over the years, according to NOAA research. During the winter season, average ice cover on the lakes has declined by about 70 ...
Moored weather buoys range from 1.5–12 metres (5–40 ft) in diameter, [11] while drifting buoys are smaller, with diameters of 30–40 centimetres (12–16 in). [14] Drifting buoys are the dominant form of weather buoy in sheer number, with 1250 located worldwide. [ 10 ]
