Advancing scientific understanding of climate, improving society’s ability to plan and respond
The upcoming American Meteorological Society (AMS) annual meeting, with “Earth System Science in Service to Society” as a guiding theme, will see many presentations by CPO staff, demonstrating the breadth and mission-orientation of CPO’s programs and integrated information systems.
CPO’s David Herring has won the NOAA Dr. Daniel L. Albritton Outstanding Science Communicator Award for 2015. He was honored at an award’s ceremony on Dec. 9, 2015.

In partnership with the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) Office of Science and Technology, CPO’s Coastal and Ocean Climate Applications (COCA) program competitively awarded seven grants projects in FY 2015 focused on increasing the understanding of climate-related impacts on fish stocks and fisheries. The roughly $5 million in grants cover a two- to three-year time period.
Sandy Delgado, a CIMAS Research Associate the National Hurricane Center funded through the Climate Program Office’s Climate Monitoring Program, had the opportunity to visit Cuba as a participant in the VIII Cuban Congress of Meteorology in Havana.

The Meridional Overturning Circulation plays a critical role in global and regional heat and freshwater budgets by carrying water properties northward and southward within individual ocean basins. This COD-supported research, published in Geophysical Research Letters, examines altimetry-derived synthetic temperature and salinity profiles between 20°S and 34.5°S to estimate the Meridional Overturning Circulation and meridional heat transport.
In a new study published in the Journal of the Meteorological Society of Japan, Xie et al. address the continued role of the Zebiak-Cane coupled model in ENSO forecasting.

CORE-II is the Coordinated Ocean-ice Reference Experiments are a CLIVAR model intercomparison effort that examines a group of global ocean-sea ice models under a common atmospheric state to facilitate improved understanding and modeling of the ocean.

The Carolinas Integrated Sciences & Assessments (CISA) a NOAA RISA team, is holding a webinar on ‘December 8, 2015 to discuss the October 2015 flooding event in South Carolina.
CPO’s Climate Observation Division supported a paper published in Geophysical Research Letters. The goal of this manuscript–”The impact of historical biases on the XBT-derived meridional overturning circulation estimates at 34°S”–is assess how the historical expendable bathythermograph measurement errors may affect the meridional mass and heat transport across one key ocean section in the South Atlantic Ocean.
A study by Gregory Carbin (NOAA Storm Prediction Center), Michael Tippett (Columbia University), Samuel Lillo (University of Oklahoma), and Harold Brooks (NOAA National Severe Storms Laboratory), funded by CPO’s Modeling, Analysis, Predictions, and Projections program, introduces two new approaches for producing long-range severe thunderstorm predictions.
