Upcoming Midwest Drought Early Warning System meetings to advance preparedness and integrate health sector
From November 19-21, CPO’s NIDIS is hosting two upcoming meetings for the Midwest Drought Early Warning System in St. Paul, Minnesota.
CPO’s Ben DeAngelo to lead U.S. delegation for Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Program meeting
The Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Program presents an international forum to extend the reach of NOAA’s experts and expertise.
NIDIS to host California-Nevada Drought Early Warning System Partner Meeting
Attendees will share and discuss ongoing drought activities, learn about new and innovative drought research and resources, explore emerging issues and opportunities, and identify collaborative paths forward for the CA-NV DEWS network to continue to help the region monitor, forecast, plan for, and cope with the impacts of drought.

New temperature product improves global climate monitoring
Record cold and record warm temperatures across the planet can cause major and widespread impacts to life and property. But how frequent are these extreme temperature events? How do the frequencies of record warm events and record cold events compare, and have their relative frequencies changed over time? A new product funded by CPO’s Climate Observations and Monitoring Program helps answers these questions.

Upcoming seminar on Drought and Outdoor Recreation in the Intermountain West
Co-hosted by CPO’s National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS), the seminar will explore the effects of uncertain snowpack levels, streamflows, and warming temperatures on outdoor recreation businesses with a focus on snow- and water-based activities (skiing, fishing, rafting, etc.).

Linking Latitudes
Over the past 40 years, the Arctic sea ice minimum in September has declined, with 2007 to 2012 showing accelerated melt. However, this has been followed by a puzzling slowdown in sea ice decline more recently despite steady increases in greenhouse gas emissions. A team of scientists, funded in part by CPO’s Climate Variability and Predictability Program, believes they have resolved part of the puzzle.
IRAP Seminar: The CHIKRisk App: Global Mapping and Prediction Chikungunya Risk
The seminar took place on Wednesday, October 2nd from 10-11am EST.

Old weather “time machine” opens a treasure trove for researchers
This month, a research team, funded in part by CPO’s Climate Observations and Monitoring Program and Modeling, Analysis, Predictions, and Projections Program, published an update to a weather “time machine” they’ve been developing since 2011. This third version of the 20th Century Reanalysis Project, or 20CRv3 for short, is a dauntingly complex, high-resolution, four-dimensional reconstruction of the global climate that estimates what the weather was for every day back to 1836.
