- Research by NOAA shows that warming of the Indo-Pacific Ocean is altering rainfall patterns from the tropics to the United States, contributing to declines in rainfall on the United States west and east coasts. These same changes are causing an increase in rainfall over the world https://research.noaa.gov/article/artmid/587/articleid/2572/research-warming-of-the-indo-pacific-ocean-is-changing-global-rainfall-patterns 20 comments science
