Advancing scientific understanding of climate, improving society’s ability to plan and respond
The Center for Science and Technology Policy Research is hosting its latest noontime webinar on April 2. The webinar – Reporting, Regulation, and the Governance of Climate Change in the U.K. – is available via live webcast.
NIDIS’s Claudia Nierenberg and MAPP’s Annarita Mariotti have been invited to speak at 40th Annual Center for Great Plains Studies Symposium “Drought in the Life, Cultures, and Landscapes of the Great Plains.”
Climate Program Office Director Dr. Wayne Higgins will be the luncheon speaker at the Board of Director’s meeting of the Association of Metropolitan Water Agencies on April 7.
A paper accepted for publication to the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society involved a number of MAPP-funded PIs.
Funded by the Sectoral Applications Research Program (SARP), The National Drought Mitigation Center unveiled the Drought Risk Atlas on March 21. The atlas provides analysis of data on drought frequency and severity for more than 3,000 spots across the country.

This special collection of the Journal of Hydrometeorology focuses on scientific research to advance the U.S.’s capability to monitor and predict drought, including the development of new data and methodologies. The results presented in this issue represent the outcomes of research in large part funded by NOAA’s Modeling, Analysis, Predictions and Projections (MAPP) program, also leveraging other U.S. agencies’ investments, and coordinated within the framework of the MAPP Drought Task Force.
The second edition of a quarterly Rio Grande/Rio Bravo (RGB) Climate Impacts and Outlook report has been released for Spring 2014. Led by the Climate Assessment of the Southwest (CLIMAS) and prepared as part of the RGB regional pilot project for the North American Climate Services Partnership (NACSP), this quarterly publication synthesizes recent, current, and near-term forecasted conditions on both sides of the U.S. and Mexico borders.
The North American Climate Services Partnership recently released their 2013-2017 Strategy and Work Plan. The seven-page NACSP Strategy document outlines the mission, drivers, strategic goals, scope and approach, and guiding principles for the Partnership.
With funding from NOAA’s Climate Program Office, Rood and colleagues, including lead developer Ben Koziol, a CIRES researcher in NOAA’s Earth System Research Laboratory, have built an open source Python package, OpenClimateGIS, that aids users in the interpretation of climate data.
