GMAO Science Snapshots Investigate Indian Ocean Dipole and Maui Fires
Enabled by the NASA Center for Climate Simulation (NCCS), the NASA Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO) mounted recent simulation studies. One investigated the Indian Ocean dipole, a climate phenomenon with a positive phase involving warmer sea surface temperatures (SST) in the western portion and colder SST in the eastern portion. Another researched the meteorology of August 2023 wildfires on Hawaii’s island of Maui, the United States' deadliest wildfire in the last 100 years.
