A new CVP-supported study published in Climate Dynamics compares six ocean reanalyses produced under different conditions (forcings, models) to determine how they represented the variability characteristics and mean of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation .
In this COD-funded study published in Geophysical Research Letters, researchers present a 13 year (2002–2015) semimonthly time series of the partial pressure of CO2 in surface water (pCO2surf) and other carbonate system parameters from the Drake Passage.

Researchers from OAR and the University of California system, including Amir AghaKouchak, David Feldman, and Travis Huxman (University of California, Irvine) as well as Martin Hoerling (NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory) and Jay Lund (University of California, Davis), recently published an essay in Nature discussing the future implications for California and other regions with growing populations and industries of the growing demand humans are placing on water.
CPO’s Modeling, Analysis, Predictions, and Projections (MAPP) program will host a technical workshop jointly organized by NOAA-DOE on high-resolution coupling and initialization to improve predictability and prediction in climate models September 30th through October 2nd at the NOAA Center for Weather and Climate Prediction Conference Center in College Park, Maryland.
On September 10, 2015, in one of Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse’s weekly speeches about climate, the Senator discussed climate impacts and research in the Gulf of Mexico region and in particular highlighted the research conducted by the Southern Climate Impacts Planning Program, a NOAA RISA team.

The Global Framework for Climate Services (GFCS) is a multilateral initiative aimed at increasing resilience to climate variability and change around the world.
This week two Deep SOLO prototypes were recovered after being in the Pacific for a little more than a year. These prototypes are able to go down to 6000m and send valuable data via satellites to scientists at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO).
