The Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) - or "NOAA Research" - provides the research foundation for understanding the complex systems that support our planet. Working in partnership with other organizational units of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, a bureau of the Department of Commerce, NOAA Research enables better forecasts, earlier warnings for natural disasters, and a greater understanding of the Earth. Our role is to provide unbiased science to better manage the environment, nationally, and globally.

"I’ll cut to the chase. Spooky season is coming to an end, and people are beginning to set their sights on winter. And when it comes to winter, there’s a big, white, abominable 'elephant' in the room. Snow. While you’re not going to find a seasonal snowfall prediction here at the ENSO Blog, what we can do, given that La Niña is favored this winter, is revisit the historical relationship between La Niña and snow across North America." https://lnkd.in/eUR9wNfY

October 11-December 5, NOAA-supported scientists on Schmidt Ocean Institute's Research Vessel Falkor (Too) will search for, explore, and characterize cold seeps along the coast of Chile — where powerful geologic forces converge and seeps have been confirmed, but not explored.
