- 1Storms on Both U.S. Coasts Highlight El Niño's Strength●With Storms on 2 Sides of the U.S., El Niño Shows Its Might
The United States is facing severe storms on opposite coasts at the same time, a pattern being attributed to the strength of the current El Niño. The climate phenomenon, driven by unusually warm Pacific Ocean waters, is influencing weather systems nationwide, with heavy storms hitting both the East and West coasts simultaneously and drawing attention to El Niño's far-reaching impact.
- 2Heavy water isotopes improve weather prediction accuracy▼Heavy water isotopes make weather predictions more accurate
Researchers report that tracking heavy water isotopes can make weather forecasts more accurate. Isotope ratios in atmospheric water vapour carry information about where moisture originates and how it evaporates and condenses, so including them in forecast models could sharpen predictions of rainfall and storms. The finding comes from the physics publication Physics World and is drawing attention as a potential advance in meteorological modelling.

- 9GPS Tracking Study Maps Boat-Strike Risks for Loggerhead Turtles▼GPS Tracking Study Maps Vessel-Strike Risks for Loggerhead Turtles in Biscayne Bay
A new GPS tracking study has mapped where loggerhead turtles in Florida's Biscayne Bay face the greatest risk of being struck by boats. By following the turtles' movements, researchers identified areas where turtle activity overlaps with heavy vessel traffic, information that could guide speed limits and protections. The findings are drawing attention as boat strikes remain a leading cause of sea turtle deaths in Florida waters.
