Two Pictures 104 Years Apart Show Disturbing Glacial Melt in Norway Global warming is taking its toll on the world’s glaciers. This could not be more drastically represented than by this side-by-side picture comparison. The original picture was taken in 1918. It shows such massive glaciers that you could barely see the impressive mountains behind them. In the second picture, it is the mountains that look massive. These photos show the […] Industry News Brent Thomas | June 30, 2022 1 Comment

What About Snow During La Niña Winters? This article was originally published on Climate.gov by Dr. Stephen Baxter. This is a guest post by Dr. Stephen Baxter who is a NOAA Climate Prediction Center (CPC) meteorologist and does applied research on subseasonal-to-seasonal climate variability. In particular he specializes in understanding how the middle-to-high latitude circulation is influenced by the tropics versus other processes. He also has a […] Weather SnowBrains | October 15, 2021 0 Comments
NOAA: Double-Dip La Niña Emerges This post was originally published on NOAA.gov A La Nina has developed and will extend through the second winter in a row according to NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center — a division of NOAA’s National Weather Service.

Climate Change: Ocean Heat Content This article first appeared on climate.gov and was written by LuAnn Dahlman and Rebecca Lindsey on August 17, 2020 Rising amounts of greenhouse gases are preventing heat radiated from Earth’s surface from escaping into space as freely as it used to. Most of the excess atmospheric heat is passed back to the ocean. As a result, upper ocean heat content has […] Weather WeatherBrains | August 5, 2021 0 Comments
