Atmospheric Chemistry Carbon Cycle and Climate

On March 27, the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine publicly released a new report on human emissions of methane in the U.S., which was sponsored by NOAA's AC4 program in partnership with DOE, EPA, and NASA. In this recorded briefing, NASEM's committee members summarized current approaches to measuring, monitoring, reporting, and developing inventories of U.S. emissions of methane, followed by a period of Q&A and discussion.

The NOAA FIREX and NASA FIREX-Chem field campaigns will merge into FIREX-AQ — a joint field program that will take place in summer 2019.

CPO is releasing its 2016 Annual Report, which gives an overview of FY16 achievements and highlights the great work done by CPO Divisions and Programs to advance scientific understanding of climate and improve society's ability to plan and respond.

The updated version of this CPO-supported tool provides information for policymakers, industry, and researchers to make informed decisions related to atmospheric greenhouse gases.

NOAA’s Climate Program Office (CPO) has awarded $44.34 million for 73 new projects designed to help advance the understanding, modeling, and prediction of Earth’s climate system and to foster effective decision making.
