The NOAA CPO Modeling, Analysis, Prediction, and Projections (MAPP) program will host a webinar on the topic of Model Infrastructure for Improved Model Performance and Interoperability on Monday, March 31. The announcement is provided below; you are invited to remotely join the session.
The NOAA CPO Modeling, Analysis, Prediction, and Projections (MAPP) program will host a webinar on the topic of climate predictability and predictions on Tuesday, March 18. During this webinar, speakers will discuss the National Multi Model Ensemble, other subseasonal to seasonal prediction efforts, and predictability of Asian Summer monsoon precipitation. This work is relevant to ongoing activities of the NOAA Climate Prediction Task Force, which will also be discussed.
The NOAA CPO Modeling, Analysis, Prediction, and Projections (MAPP) program will host a webinar on the topic of CMIP5 results for North American and CMIP6 plans, Tuesday, February 25. This webinar will discuss ongoing work analyzing CMIP5 20th century simulations and 21st century projections for North America. Talks will highlight ongoing activities of the NOAA CMIP5 Task Force, including work being done with the applications/user community and modeling centers. An update on the plans for CMIP6 will also be presented. The announcement is provided below; you are invited to remotely join the session.
The NOAA Sectoral Applications Research Program (SARP), U.S. National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS), Water Research Foundation, Water Environment Federation (WEF), Water Environment Research Foundation (WERF) and American Water Works Association (AWWA) announce our next joint webinar as part of our series on “Climate Information for Managing Risks In Water Resources.” This month’s presentation will be focused on “Working with Communities” and will be held Friday, Feb. 21, 2014 from 1 – 2 p.m. EST.

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) permanent representatives from the U.S., Canada, and Mexico participated in a special briefing on Monday, Feb. 3 related to progress under the North American Climate Services Partnership (NACSP).
CPO’s Modeling, Analysis, Predictions and Projections (MAPP) and Earth Systems Sciences (ESS) programs have both provided support for the International Conference on Subseasonal to Seasonal Prediction (S2S). The conference will take place from Feb. 10-13 in College Park, Md. at NOAA’s Center for Weather and Climate Prediction.
Research funded by the RISA program was published in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society. The publication – Understanding Uncertainties in Future Colorado River Streamflow – is a synthesis of studies on Colorado River streamflow projections that examines methodological and model differences and their implications for water management.
A report was based on the Pacific Islands Regional Climate Assessment (PIRCA) was recently presented to the President’s Task Force for Climate Preparedness and Resilience.
