CPO’s Climate Variability & Predictability (CVP) program funded research which contributed the newest edition of The Multiscale Global Monsoon System, part of the World Scientific Series on Asia-Pacific Weather and Climate.
This study analyzes the year-to-year variability of the MJO propagation speed (how fast it moves across the Indo-Pacific region) by analyzing a century-long historical dataset, providing further insights into the fundamental physics regulating MJO propagation.
A new study investigates the role of land breeze and gravity waves in nighttime rainfall migration off the west coast of Sumatra, with a specific focus on the properties (frequency, speed, intraseasonal and seasonal variations) of this offshore rainfall.
NOAA buoy observations collectively enabled a systemic synoptic-scale analysis of a 39-year record of atmospheric rivers, offering a unique view of coastal air-sea processes at the time of atmospheric river landfall.
Highlights from the week-long engagement included virtual demonstrations of NOAA’s Science on a Sphere (SOS) and the Climate Resilience Toolkit’s steps to resilience.
Americans’ health, security and economic wellbeing are tied to climate and weather. Every day, we see communities grappling with environmental challenges due to unusual or extreme events related to climate and weather.
