Climate Variability & Predictability (CVP) and Modeling, Analysis, Predictions and Projections (MAPP) funded a recent study which proposes a newly-named global teleconnection linking cooling temperature trends over Eurasia and warming trends in the Arctic to variability in low-frequency tropical sea surface temperatures.

Researchers funded by both the CPO Climate Variability & Predictability (CVP) program and the Modeling, Analysis, Predictions and Projections (MAPP) program rank the performance of over 30 CMIP5/6 climate models in reproducing observed atmosphere-sea ice relationships.

A research team funded in part by CPO’s Atmospheric Chemistry, Carbon Cycle, & Climate (AC4) program observed and summarized the evolution of reactive oxidized nitrogen species in sampled from wildfire plumes as part of the Western Wildfire Experiment for Cloud Chemistry, Aerosol Absorption, and Nitrogen (WE-CAN) field campaign.

In order to pinpoint the origins of precipitation biases in the most recent version of global climate models a team of researchers funded in part by CPO’s Climate Variability & Predictability (CVP) program developed a new framework to study the moisture budgets of the newest generation of global climate model simulations. 

Can semi-continuous carbon dioxide measurements taken from an instrument placed on top of a mobile light rail tram usefully improve urban emission estimates? Researchers, funded in part by CPO’s Atmospheric Chemistry, Carbon Cycle, & Climate (AC4) program, demonstrate not only that the measurements improve emission estimates but also that the measurements better capture spatial differences in emissions.
