Using a new powerful NOAA global climate model, NOAA and partner researchers show that big spikes in daily coastal sea levels will increase in the future from the Gulf Coast to the Atlantic coast as warming progresses, but will be driven by differing forces in these two regions.
Jin Huang, CPO Earth System Science and Modeling Division Chief, attended and presented at the Global Energy and Water Exchanges (GEWEX) Scientific Steering Group meeting to share CPO’s research efforts relevant to the U.S. GEWEX Program Office and thoughts on future U.S. GEWEX activities.

Last week, Maryland Governor Larry Hogan honored the professionals, making Maryland the first American state to formally recognize the credential, administered by the Association of Climate Change Officers.
The new version aims to improve support for local planners, policy leaders, and facility and resource managers by giving people a way to explore conditions projected for their locations in the coming decades.

As cities grow and rainfall patterns become more extreme, there is great need to tailor climate information to stormwater engineers.
A new report evaluated present-day infrastructure, design specifications, and procedures against expected climate change to better understand its future impact on Con Edison’s energy delivery systems in NYC and Westchester County through the 21st century.
The catalogue provides consistent estimates of large-scale drought and flood events over 1950-2016, their different characteristics, as well as long term risk.
