A new review paper describes how MAPP-funded and organized work has contributed to recent progress in understanding tropical cyclones.

The MAPP-funded study finds that ENSO, PDO, and other sources of abnormal sea surface temperatures serve as predictors for U.S. seasonal mean precipitation and that these sources change seasonally and decadally.

A research team funded in part by the Climate Program Office has published a new paper describing the timelines during which we can expect to observe a variety of changes in the oceans due to climate change. The paper, published online August 19, 2019 in Nature Climate Change, is titled “Emergence of anthropogenic signals in the ocean carbon cycle.” 

A new study shows significant potential in using atmospheric patterns to forecast coastal flooding that occurs without rainfall during high tides.

The Climate Program Office’s Alaska RISA team (Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy), in partnership with the International Arctic Research Center and the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, has released a new report, Alaska’s Changing Environment, documenting recent observed profound changes in the environment related to extreme weather events and deviations from the historical climate.
