New research synthesis supported by NOAA’s Climate Program Office has been published in Current Climate Change Reports. The paper by Kopp et al., “Geographic Variability of Sea-Level Change” summarizes the myriad components and processes of the earth system – both geological and climatological – that contribute to regional relative sea level.
Work on flash drought early warning systems funded by the Climate Program Office’s Sectoral Applications Research Program (SARP) appeared in the July issue of the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society.
From July 28-30, Climate Program Office Director Wayne Higgins and CPO Climate and Health Lead Juli Trtanj are particiating in a workshop on the development of climate services for a National Integrated Heat Health Information System (NIHHIS).
