A new study funded in part by NOAA’s Climate Program Office finds that a 1 degree increase in winter average temperature increases the probability of a below-average winter snowpack by 20% while a 2 degree warming increases that probability to 40%.
The CPO ESSM Workshop and Council Meeting will be held in Civic Center in Downtown Silver Spring, Maryland on November 6-7, 2018. The purpose of the workshop is to bring together key CPO partners and stakeholders, both internal and external to NOAA to discuss CPO’s climate and Earth system research priorities and partnership strategies over the next 1-5 years.
A new indicator that characterizes heat waves in the United States shows staggering changes in this phenomenon over the past few decades. Many cities in the U.S. are now experiencing 5-10 more heat waves per year than they did in the 1960s
Nancy Beller-Simms, Program Managers, will provide: (a) a brief description of the funding opportunity, (b) a discussion of key components required within a proposal submission, and (c) pointers for producing a more applicable and compelling proposal for these competitions. This will be done via goto meeting.
On Oct. 12, 2018, David Herring, manager of CPO’s CEE Division, conducted a public webinar on the CEE competition within CPO’s FY19 FFO, titled “Building U.S Communities’ and Businesses’ Resilience to Extreme Events.”
New research results from a project led by Hyemi Kim, a Stony Brook University scientist co-funded by NOAA Research’s Modeling, Analysis, Predictions and Projections (MAPP) Program, analyzes improvements in MJO prediction over the past decade.
New research by Michael Tippett, a Columbia University scientist, explores how the MJO affects tornado activity in the U.S. His findings uncover strengths and areas for improvement that can be used to paint a clearer picture of the MJO and U.S. tornado connection.
The conference supports on-the-ground resilience efforts, contributes to the development of a climate information network for the Carolinas, and provides a venue for practitioners, resource managers, and researchers to share and collaborate.
