In honor of the April 8th, 2024 total solar eclipse event, the NOAA Science On a Sphere program has developed datasets showing cloud cover potential, eclipse paths, and a narrated movie describing the total eclipse phenomenon.

Discover the intricate web of climate, drought, and climate change in the Southwestern US in this engaging 25-minute talk and 20-minute LIVE Q&A. Our seasoned climatologist, Russ Schumacher, will explore Colorado's climate, the significance of mountain snowpack, and the path of water to rivers. Uncover key climate metrics like temperature and precipitation and their impact on water resources. Explore the diverse nature of drought, its definitions, and its evolving face under the influence of climate change.

Join Daniela Pennycook from the Cooperative Institute of Research in Environmental Sciences, Dr. Mimi Hugues, Research Meteorologist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and Andy Anderson, Forecaster at the Sierra Nevada Avalanche Center in this special webinar on Atmospheric Rivers, learn all about what they are, how we measure them, and the impact this environmental phenomenon has had on the U.S. in 2023.
