Scientifically, This Was Still a Monster El Niño Year

May 5, 2016

At the outset of the 2015-2016 El Niño season, researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego recognized that all the ingredients of a major event were in place.

Ocean Scientists Recommend Plan to Combat Changes to Seawater Chemistry

April 6, 2016

Global carbon dioxide emissions are triggering permanent changes to ocean chemistry along the North American West Coast that require immediate, decisive action to combat. That action includes development of a coordinated regional management strategy, concluded a panel of scientific experts including Andrew Dickson, a professor of marine chemistry at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego.

Study: Climate Change Will Reduce the Amount of Saharan Dust in Atmosphere

March 22, 2016

Winds transport dust from the Sahara Desert around the world and influence weather and ecology as far away as the Caribbean and South America. Now a history of this transported dust led by researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego reveals how climate change may alter its global-scale role.

Reconnaissance Flights Into Atmospheric Rivers Aim To Improve West Coast Storm Predictions

March 3, 2016

Researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego have developed a new method for improving atmospheric river forecasts based on collecting special observations using two aircraft in atmospheric rivers over the northeast Pacific Ocean. The method was used for the first time in February in National Weather Service-directed flights over the Pacific Ocean.

Flying Lab to Investigate Southern Ocean’s Appetite for Carbon

January 6, 2016

A team of scientists including geochemists from Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego is launching a series of research flights this month over the remote Southern Ocean in an effort to better understand just how much carbon dioxide the icy waters are able to lock away.
