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
Obtaining consistent results from data records that span multiple types of observing systems has been challenging, limiting our ability to use the observations and realize their full value.
On July 28th and 29th, the Global Heat Health Information Network (GHHIN) hosted discussions on the urgent challenges of extreme heat in urban areas and in occupational settings. The discussions were moderated by Thomson Reuters reporters, and featured experts from government, academia, and industry.
These discussions are an early step in achieving the goal of increased connectivity between NOAA Research capabilities and sanctuary climate information needs under CPO’s Marine Ecosystems Risk Team (MERT) initiative.
El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO)-driven variations in sea surface temperatures over the tropical Pacific play a major role in seasonal rainfall changes in the United States and in driving weather and climate around the world. However, little is known about how ENSO will respond to anthropogenic changes in Earth’s climate.
The Report provides insight into the many accomplishments of the program over the previous year and the opportunities that lie ahead.
The discrepancies between simulations and reconstructions obstructs our ability to gain a better understanding of climate from these natural experiments.
The symposium will help determine how NOAA’s climate, weather and environmental information can be usefully applied to and better serve the health community in predicting and managing the COVID-19 pandemic.
A newly-released Federal Register Notice seeks public comment on the Fifth National Climate Assessment Draft Prospectus, which describes the proposed overarching themes and framework for the report. NOAA staff are encouraged to review the Notice and provide comments by August 10, 2020.
NOAA Research’s Climate Program Office (CPO) is pleased to announce that its Fiscal Year 2021 grant competitions are now open.
CPO supports competitive research through three major program areas: Earth System Science and Modeling (ESSM); Climate and Societal Interactions (CSI); and Communication, Education and Engagement (CEE). Through this announcement, CPO is seeking applications for 6 individual competitions in FY21.
Programs: AC4, CVP, MAPP, COM, COCA, GOMO, and AdSci
LOIs Deadline: August 17, 2020 | Full Applications Deadline: November 30, 2020
