Modeling, Analysis, Predictions and Projections (MAPP)

Snow is used by approximately ⅙ of Earth’s population for drinking, agriculture, and hydropower, among other uses. Despite its importance, “snow droughts,” or deficits in snowmelt, which can have serious regional and global consequences, have been fairly unexplored compared to other forms of drought, until now.

NOAA Research’s Climate Program Office (CPO) is pleased to announce that its Fiscal Year 2021 grant competitions are now open.

In the atmosphere-ocean system, the global distribution of climate variables such as sea surface temperature, pressure, and precipitation fluctuate from interannual to decadal timescales. New research compares climate models across six U.S. climate modeling centers.

Atlantic tropical cyclones (TCs) can cause significant damage and impact both societal and economic sectors. New research looks to find a connection between the East Asian Subtropical Jet Stream and Atlantic Tropical Cyclones.

The movement of landfalling tropical cyclones (TCs) can substantially affect the resulting damage. Since the beginning of the 21st century, Texas has experienced a number of devastating TCs; and research shows stalled TCs may become less frequent.
