New research in Geophysical Research Letters and partially funded by CPO’s AC4 program found that the Bakken Formation, an oil and gas field in North Dakota and Montana, is responsible for roughly 2 percent of the globe’s ethane–about 250,000 tons per year.

Research supported by CPO’s Atmospheric Chemistry, Carbon Cycle, and Climate (AC4) program was recently published in the Journal Environmental Science and Technology. The paper by Lin et al. focuses on the poorly-understood formation mechanisms of atmospheric brown carbon (BrC) chromophores.
In FY 2015, CPO’s Atmospheric Chemistry, Carbon Cycle and Climate (AC4) program funded one new multi-institutional award totaling $1.45 million, which consisted of $400,000 in Grants to universities, $974,874 in other awards to universities, and $95,000 in internal NOAA funding to advance Earth System Models.

The Climate Program Office (CPO), a part of NOAA’s Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR), has awarded 53 new projects conducted by NOAA laboratories and operational centers, universities, and other agency and research partners valued at more than $48 million over the 1-5 year duration of the projects.
Work supported by CPO’s AC4 program found that the effects of melting permafrost in the Arctic could cost $43 trillion in extra economic damage by the end of the next century, on top of the more than the $300 trillion economic damage already predicted.

CPO’s Atmospheric Chemistry, Carbon Cycle, & Climate (AC4) program has published a workshop report titled “Advancing Atmospheric Chemistry Through the Use of Satellite Observations from the Cross-track Infrared Sounder (CrIS).”
NOAA colleagues from ESRL/CSD and AC4 will be hosting a virtual Town Hall, meant as an update to the FIREX white paper released last fall and AGU Town Hall on wildfires in a changing climate. Read more for a summary of the webinar and to learn how to register.
