This NOAA Drought Task Force/NIDIS report details the results of an extensive multi-research-group analysis of the causes and predictability of the drought. The report finds that the exceedingly warm and dry conditions that caused the drought were due to a high pressure ridge off the west coast of the United States influenced heavily by anomalous sea surface temperatures. These influences are attributed to natural variability.

A project supported by CPO’s Modeling, Analysis, Prediction, and Projections (MAPP) and Atmospheric Chemistry, Carbon Cycle, and Climate (AC4) programs has had new research published in Nature. The paper, “Agricultural Green Revolution as a driver of increasing atmospheric CO2 seasonal amplitude,” was published in the journal’s Nov. 19, 2014 issue.
Our series on “Climate Information for Managing Risks In Water Resources” is resuming on Tuesday Dec 3rd at 1:30 p.m. ET. Our first talk will be by Mark Deutschman, Ph.D., PE. Mark is a civil engineer and Vice President of Houston Engineering. He will discuss the work he has done with citizen groups in the Klamath Basin in developing a tool to provide climate and water resource data for decision-making.
