>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." >> good evening. i'm norah o'donnell live from the u.s. naval base here in bahrain, home of the navy's 5th fleet. so much has happened since we arrived here in the middle east on sunday. each day we have learn of new attacks from iranian-backed militias. american soldiers have died, and american warships and aircraft are under fire. the number of attacks from houthi militants are increasing, and some of their weapons are getting closer. a senior defense official here in bahrain just moments ago telling us exclusively that about ten minutes ago, the f-18 superhornets bombed ten unmanned drones in western yemen that were preparing to launch. that is how dynamic this situation. also, just hours ago, there was another attack. the uss kearny shooting down a ballistic missile and several drones that were heading their

way. we're also learning new details about that attack on a u.s. destroyer last night that was the uss gravely. and the houthi missile came within a mile of the battleship that is significant. why? because it forced sailors to use their final line of defense. bottom line, despite the biden administration's efforts to calm tensions, things are escalating. we are the first journalists to make the long trip to the red sea, embedding with the u.s. navy, who describes this situation as increasingly dynamic and unprecedented. we just got back after getting a closehand look. these sailers and marines are just one part of the u.s. military presence in the middle east. in yemen today, a houthi anti-aircraft missile targeted american patrol aircraft. the missile, which was in firing position, was destroyed by the u.s. military, according to the pentagon. >> folks that need to show restraint are these groups that iran backs.

>> reporter: groups like the one that killed three americans earlier this week. president biden has approved a series of strikes against targets, including iranian personnel and facilities inside iraq and syria. >> do we have obligations in the region, including those to our troops and facilities. now those attacks have taken the lives of three of them. we will have to do, we will do what we need to do to make sure that those responsible are held properly accountable. >> the u.s. has positioned one of its most lethal and effective assets in the red sea. we went to sea for ourselves, taking a c-2 greyhound, also known as a cod to the uss dwight d. eisenhower aircraft carrier. u.s. troops deployed in the region are now in what's called a weapons engagement, meaning the u.s. service members are in the range of enemy fire. the night we arrived on board the carrier, the destroyer, the uss gravely intercepted another houthi missile.

>> we're on call 24/7. it never stops. >> rear admiral marc miguez is the commander of carrier strike group 2 which includes the eisenhower and the gravely. >> what's the first thing the president asks when there is a crisis? where are the carrier strike groups. and there is a reason for that. you've seen some of it in full display over the last eight hours. >> the carrier strike group is leading the u.s.-led coalition's defense with a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, destroyers, 75 aircraft, and some 7,000 sailors strong. >> i know that our sailors are trained. i know that they're going to react and respond as they've been trained to do. and it was relevant last night, just like it's going to be relevant any time we get shot at. >> captain christopher hill, call sign chowda, is in charge of the ike. >> it's kind of a testament to the capability of our missile systems and our guns and the

capability of our sailors to operate that equipment. >> we were there during night operations. f-18s launched with military precision. the choreography perfected so fighter jets can go from zero to 125 miles per hour in just two seconds. captain hill was observing from the ship's bridge. today we asked him about the attack on american service members in jordan that killed three soldiers. the president has said that he has made a decision about how to respond. does this carrier strike group stand ready? >> we have been ready for quite some time. >> no matter what the order? >> no matter what the order. >> do you think you'll end up being involved? >> we are presently involved. >> we flew by helicopter to see the ships heavily involved in deterring the houthis and defending american warships, the destroyers. we're on a navy mh-60 helicopter right over the red sea, and we're heading to the uss mason. that destroyer is the tip of the spear. once on board the mason, we went inside the highly secretive combat information center, cic. it is the ship's nerve center,

where split second decisions are made when mason's radars pick up an inbound threat. >> simply put, at any time at any given place inside the red sea, i could be shot. >> the ship's captain, justin smith, says mason has been on high alert for incoming houthi missiles and drones since it arrived in the region 88 days ago. >> we have about 10 to 15 seconds to be able to make that determination if we're going to engage. >> that's not enough time to make a phone call. you just have to make the decision. >> it's make decisions. >> how long can you carry that on, that heightened posture? >> this is demanding, demanding war. work. but sailors have the tools. they have the resources, and we have the flexibility and logistics to be able to maintain this for a long period of time. >> commander melanie ollie, call sign brucie, is the only female squadron leader on the ike. >> we've seen a lot of different threats that i don't think we were expecting to see on this deployment. but when you realize that there is merchant shipping at risk, there is innocent people at risk, you step up. we want to help. turning now to the weather

ben tracy joined an airborne research mission with the atmospheric river runners. >> engines start master. >> reporter: we're taking off from honolulu, hawaii. >> the best view i've ever had of that. >> reporter: on a plane filled with u.s. government scientists. >> we're kind of almost in the thick of things here. >> reporter: they often use this jet to hunt hurricanes. >> and you can kind of see a lot of heavy precipitation on the radar here. >> reporter: but today they're looking for something else. >> so instead of a hurricane, we're flying into an atmospheric river? >> that's right. >> yep. the mission profile is really similar to the hurricane missions, but, you know, the makeup of the storms are a lot different. >> reporter: atmospheric rivers that form over the pacific ocean often hit the west coast, dumping extreme amounts of rain and snow and fueling storms that can travel across the country. an onslaught of atmospheric rivers pummelled california last

winter, eradicating the state's drought, but causing $4.6 billion in damages. >> we get too much, it's a problem. if we get too little, it's a problem. >> reporter: marty ralph is director of the center for western weather in water extremes at uc san diego. he has been studying atmospheric rivers for more than two decades. what exactly is an atmospheric river? >> an atmospheric river is really a river in the sky, but it's a river of water vapor pushed by the wind. >> reporter: atmospheric rivers can measure 500 miles across and stretch 2,000 miles long. they can carry about as much water as 25 mississippi rivers and are expected to become stronger as climate change heats the planet because a warmer atmosphere holds more moisture. >> the climate models are projecting that there is going to be longer dry spells, but also the wettest of the wet days, the top 1% wettest days could be a lot wetter. >> reporter: so the extremes are getting more extreme? >> exactly. >> and release now.

>> reporter: during this seven-hour reconnaissance mission, scientists from the national oceanic and atmospheric administration dropped 30 of these instruments. >> drop. >> reporter: with little parachutes into the storm. >> and that's giving us constant temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, wind direction, all the way down. it takes about 15 minutes for it to travel that distance. >> reporter: it's invaluable information from inside an atmospheric river they can't get from a satellite image. >> and that's really helpful for forecasters down on the ground to be able to forecast exactly where this is going to go. >> reporter: national oceanic and atmospheric administration says data from flights like these has already improved the accuracy of forecasts by 10%, better pinpointing where and when storms will hit and how much rain and snow they will drop. that can save lives and protect property. it also gives reservoir operators better data to decide when to release water to make room for an upcoming storm or hold on the it for the dry season.

>> exactly. it gives people better awareness of what might be coming. >> reporter: marty ralph says the term "atmospheric river" was only formally defined by scientists in 2017, and there is still a lot to learn about these rivers in the sky that appear to hide in plain sight. >> they sort of don't look like much, even when you're flying right over them at 41,000 feet. >> reporter: it kind of looks like a cloudy day out there. >> yeah. but there is a lot going on down there. >> reporter: i'm ben tracy over the pacific ocean. the u.n. warning that the weather system known as el nino could make this year even hotter than 2023, which was the hottest year on record. rising temperatures are decimating the world's glaciers, which store billions of tons of fresh water. manuel bojorquez took a trip to chile to see how scientists there are working to slow the ice melt by creating artificial glaciers. >> reporter: it started

innocently enough. a hike up the mountain with a group of scientists for a rare glimpse at an artificial glacier. as it turns out, the beginner climber it can make for a hellish hike. no trail to follow, just slush. the freezing thin air of nearly 10,000 feet filling your lungs. an hour and a half climb up, they said. try four. all to see this. an almost other worldly looking monolith of ice. so thank you for bringing us up here. i almost died along the way, i think, but i made it. stupa, and it's the creation of sebastian goldstat and his team. you're capturing the water coming down from the glaciers and refreezing it. >> refreezing, without using additional energy. >> reporter: without additional -- just gravity? >> yes, just gravity.

>> reporter: a pipe brings the water down slope into what resembles a sprinkler head. as it freezes in the cold air, it forms a tiny glacier, a concept borrowed from la dock, india, where it is used to store water for dry months. >> before you have. >> reporter: right. so you're stretching out the amount of time that there is water flowing down. >> yeah, it's a kind of buffer, yes. >> reporter: a buffer. the team decided to build this one in cajon del maipo, a canyon in the andes southeast of santiago, south of chile, which relies on glaciers fo ss for fo drinking water. 80% are here. that's why is so important for you. >> for us. the water is vital. it's a vital element. so we need to respect it. >> reporter: climate change has done anything but.

>> you have the same glacier flowing from right to left. in 2018, you can see it. it is gone. >> reporter: andres rivera is a professor of geography at the university of chile. he showed us photos of one nearby glacier in the 1950s compared to 2018. he says flashs have seen ups and downs driven by natural variations in climate. but this is something else. >> this is what is called climate change, and it's because the increase of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere that is changing the global heat balance and the temperature is increasing. >> reporter: he says the stupas are an interesting concept, but with limited impact because they don't address the root of the problem, a warming planet. >> to address the climate change impact problem, we need much more effort from the whole society. >> reporter: still, other countries are taking note.

on our trip, a team of scientists from peru came along to see the stupa. why is peru interested in this concept? it interests us a lot, he says, mostly because our city is in a region with limited water supply. as the stupa begins its slow drip, goldschmidt sees the potential. >> also we wanted it to go near the glaciers. >> reporter: okay. >> so we want to repair our glaciers. >> reporter: oh you want to repair the glaciers? wow. >> that's our dream. >> reporter: that's your dream. >> yes. >> reporter: so this is a first step, he says, given the climate step, he says, given the climate crisis of a steep uphill battle. after cooking a delicious knorr farm stand chicken cheddar broccoli recipe. you will want to close all your delivery apps and open your camera, so you can take photos of your home made masterpiece. unfortunately, no photo can capture the savory goodness of this perfect combo of juicy, sweet tomatoes, and smooth silky zucchini. tasty!

when folks say if i'm going to pay $17 for a piece of fish, i can go to the grocery store and buy an actual piece of fresh fish. >> there is so much tinned seafood now that you can buy that ironically, it's almost a fresher way of experiencing that seafood. because sardines are fished out of the water and in some cases canned within hours. >> reporter: with their long shelf life, heisel says one way to think about tinned fish is like a nice bottle of wine you save for a special occasion. >> i am very excited about a tin that i just got of barnacles. they look like dinosaur legs. >> reporter: but seriously, is this all just a fad? becca milstein says no. she named her company fish wife for the industrious tough women who sold fish in the past. something she's hoping to do long into the future. >> it's something that people have been eating for hundreds of years. so the trend that we're experiencing right now is the beginning of the new era of tinned fish.
