Findings on Carbon Cycle Feed Climate Research
Michael Stukel (FSU) is taking a deep dive into the carbon cycle and investigating how carbon moves from the ocean surface to greater depths and then remains there for hundreds of years. Those findings could be critical to understanding climate change and how much carbon the Earth's atmosphere and oceans can store. In a recent paper, Stukel explains how carbon is transported to deeper waters and why it is happening more rapidly in certain areas of the ocean.

NOAA Regional Sea Level Scenarios Help Communities Prepare for Risks
Sea level rise is occurring worldwide, but not at the same rate everywhere. Differences will also likely continue in the future, so decision-makers need local information to assess their community's vulnerability. New scenarios developed by NOAA integrate updated global sea level rise scenarios with regional factors, such as changes in land elevations and ocean circulation, that influence sea level regionally.

NOAA State Climate Summaries
New
NOAA State Climate Summaries were produced to meet a demand for state-level information in the wake of the Third U.S. National Climate Assessment, released in 2014. The summaries cover assessment topics directly related to NOAA's mission, specifically historical climate variations and trends, future climate model projections of climate conditions during the 21st century, and past and future conditions of sea level and coastal flooding.

Explaining Extreme Events of 2015 from a Climate Perspective
This 5th annual
special report of the
Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society continues to provide evidence that climate change is altering some extreme event risk. Without exception, all the heat-related events studied in this year's report were found to have been made more intense or likely due to human-induced climate change, and this was discernible even for those events strongly influenced by the 2015 El Niño.

Florida Annual Climate Summary for 2016
The Florida Climate Center has released their
2016 Annual Climate Summary for the state of Florida. Some highlights from the summary include: 2016 was the second-warmest year in the instrumental record statewide after 2015, and six of the 12 months ranked in their respective top-ten warmest. Particularly in areas that received less rainfall from Hurricanes Hermine and Matthew, the second half of the year was drier than the first half and included a record-dry November.

How to Inoculate the Public Against Misinformation About Climate Change
New research from Yale University investigated if and how public understanding of the scientific consensus on human-caused climate change can be protected against influential misinformation. Results from a large survey experiment indicate that preemptive "inoculation messages" can effectively protect public perceptions of the scientific consensus against misinformation across the political spectrum.
