Research funded by CPO’s Atmospheric Chemistry, Carbon Cycle, and Climate (AC4) program was published in Nature Geosciences. The article assesses the relationship between the organic carbon content of sea water and freshly emitted sea spray aerosol in the North Atlantic as well as the coastal waters of California.
NIDIS Director Roger Pulwarty gave the keynote address on climate services and adaptation at the WCRP-Latin American and Caribbean Conference on Developing, Linking, and Applying Climate Knowledge.

The NOAA CPO Modeling, Analysis, Prediction, and Projections (MAPP) program will host a webinar on the topic of Drought Research: Improved Understanding, Monitoring, and Prediction of Drought on Friday, May 30. The announcement is provided below; you are invited to remotely join the session.
The NOAA CPO Modeling, Analysis, Prediction, and Projections (MAPP) and Earth System Science (ESS) programs will host a webinar on the topic of climate extremes and efforts to better understand and predict them on Tuesday, April 8. During this webinar, speakers will touch on tropical cyclones, tornadoes, and drought, focusing on improved scientific understanding of these phenomena and their variability in a climate context as well as efforts to better simulate and predict them on various time scales. This work is directly relevant to the NOAA Societal Challenge “Reducing the Nation’s Vulnerability to Extreme Weather and Climate.” The announcement is provided below; you are invited to remotely join the session.
A study funded by CPO’s Modeling, Analysis, Predictions, and Projections (MAPP) program, titled: “CMIP5 Model Simulations of the Impacts of the Two Types of El Nino on U.S. Winter Temperature,” was accepted for publication by the Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres.

Researched funded by CPO’s MAPP program was published in Nature Climate Change on Feb. 23. Scientists at NOAA’s Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) led a new study to be published in Nature Climate Change, identifies a path forward to reduce or eliminate global sea surface temperature biases in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) Assessments resulting in greater confidence in climate model projections.

Research funded by CPO’s Climate Variability and Predictability program has been accepted for publication into Geophysical Research Letters. The paper, titled: “Stochastic forcing of north tropical Atlantic sea surface temperatures by the North Atlantic Oscillation,” showed that NAO-generated forcing of SST during boreal winter and spring is responsible for more than half the statistically unpredictable component of SST in the main development region for Atlantic hurricanes during the subsequent summer and fall.
