Advancing scientific understanding of climate, improving society’s ability to plan and respond
Advancing scientific understanding of climate, improving society’s ability to plan and respond
Earlier this month, CPO partnered with Climate Generation, a climate change education organization, to teach educators how to integrate climate change education into humanities curricula.
CPO’s NIDIS program, the Texas Water Development Board, and the University of Texas-Arlington will host an interactive workshop on September 12-13 in Arlington, Texas. Participants will learn how NOAA forecasts have been applied in decision-support tools for water management in different states and discuss what steps are needed to integrate NOAA forecasts in reservoir operations and water resources management in Texas and Oklahoma.
The second Climate.gov tweet chat will take place on Thursday, August 29 at the NOAAClimate twitter handle, and feature three scientists who are a part of the AC4 Program-supported FIREX-AQ field campaign.
On September 24, NCEI and NIDIS will host a workshop in Boulder, Colorado to bring together current and potential users of NCEI’s drought amelioration tool, such as drought decision-makers, political leaders, TV media, water managers, science writers, and community members, to share information.
In a new blog post, the project team provides insight to the value of close engagement with climate information user communities.
Researchers funded in part by the Climate Observations and Monitoring program, in collaboration with the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL), a NOAA facility at Princeton University, have published a new study that examines how projected climate features (global temperature, precipitation, and tropical cyclone activity) respond to increased CO2 conditions at varying resolution (25km vs. 50km vs. 200km). The article, “Tropical cyclone sensitivities to CO2 doubling: roles of atmospheric resolution, synoptic variability and background climate changes,” was published in the journal Climate Dynamics on August 13, 2019.
Marine heatwaves, like the one that hit the U.S. west coast in 2014, can have devastating impacts on the environment and economy.
Causing unusually warm waters off the coast of Central and South America, an El Niño event refers to a large scale ocean and atmospheric interaction that results in the warming of sea surface temperatures across the Equatorial Pacific.
The RISA-supported research examines changes in the variability of snowpack conditions between years, for historical and future climate scenarios.
CPO’s Hunter Jones will attend to build NOAA and NIHHIS international partnership through the Global Heat Health Information Network.
