SARP Webinar: Planning with Communities at Risk

The NOAA Sectoral Applications Research Program (SARP), US National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS), Water Research Foundation (WRF), Water Environment Federation (WEF), Water Environment Research Foundation (WERF) and American Water Works Association (AWWA) are co-hosting a monthly webinar series on “Climate Information for Managing Risks in Water Resources.” The next webinar – entitled “Planning with Communities at Risk.”- will be held on Dec. 12 at 1 p.m. EST.

MAPP Webinar Series: MAPP/CSI Webinar: Drought: Research and Information Supporting Preparedness

The NOAA CPO Modeling, Analysis, Prediction, and Projections program hosted a webinar jointly with the Climate and Societal Interactions Division on the research and information supporting drought preparedness, Friday, November 22, 2013. The webinar will explore drought research, how that research supports activities and capabilities in the user/decision maker communities, and how drought impacts and risks feed back into research directions.

Webinar: Sarp does stuff

The Alaska Center for Climate Assessment & Policy (ACCAP), a program of CPO’s Regional Integrated Sciences & Assessments, will host a webinar on Tuesday, Dec. 17 titled “Climate Scenarios and Vulnerabilities in the Aleutian and Bering Sea islands.”

SARP Webinar: A Focus on Groundwater

The NOAA Sectoral Applications Research Program (SARP), US National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS), Water Research Foundation (WRF), Water Environment Federation (WEF), Water Environment Research Foundation (WERF) and American Water Works Association (AWWA) are co-hosting a monthly webinar series on “Climate Information for Managing Risks in Water Resources.” The next webinar will take place on Nov. 21 from 1 – 2 p.m.

CPO represents the North American Climate Services Partnership in Mexico

NOAA’s Climate Program Office is the U.S. lead on the North American Climate Services Partnership (NACSP) – an innovative partnership with Mexico and Canada to enhance the development and delivery of climate services through trilateral collaboration – and CPO’s Meredith Muth represented the partnership at the biannual Mexican Climate Outlook Forum on Nov. 12 – 14 in Aguascalientes, Mexico.

RISA Does Cool Stuff

New research partially funded by NOAA’s Modeling, Analysis, Predictions, and Projections (MAPP) program may enable longer-term forecasts of U.S. heat waves. Scientists from the National Center for Atmospheric Research have fingerprinted a distinctive atmospheric wave pattern high above the Northern Hemisphere that can foreshadow the emergence of summertime heat waves in the United States more than two weeks in advance. The new research could, according to NCAR, potentially enable probability forecasts of U.S. heat waves 15-20 days out, giving society more time to prepare for these often-deadly events.
