CPO announces FY16 Federal Funding Opportunities

CPO’s Programs are seeking applications for 10 individual competitions in FY 2016. We estimate that $14 million will be available through this Announcement in FY 2016 for approximately 100 new awards pending budget appropriations. It is anticipated that most awards will be at a funding level between $50,000 and $300,000 per year, with some exceptions for larger awards. Visit cpo.noaa.gov/GrantsandProjects.aspx for more detailed information and instructions.

Attributing observed Greenland responses to natural and anthropogenic climate forcings

AC4 News, Atmospheric Chemistry, Carbon Cycle and Climate (AC4), General News / By Kristina Kiest

Research supported by the NOAA Climate Program Office has recently been published in the journal Climate Dynamics. The paper by Andres and Peltier, “Attributing observed Greenland responses to natural and anthropogenic climate forcings,” enhances our understanding of the contributions of anthropogenic forcing and natural variability to changing precipitation, increased surface temperatures, and subsequent melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet.

Climate Change and the Permafrost Carbon Feedback

AC4 News, Climate.gov RSS, General News / By Kristina Kiest

New research supported by CPO’s AC4 program has been published in Nature. “Climate Change and the Permafrost Carbon Feedback” focuses on the large quantities of organic carbon are stored in frozen soils within arctic and sub-arctic regions.

The Chemistry of Atmospheric Brown Carbon

AC4 News, Atmospheric Chemistry, Carbon Cycle and Climate (AC4), Climate.gov RSS, General News / By Kristina Kiest

A team of scientists partially funded by CPO’s Atmospheric Chemistry, Carbon Cycle, & Climate (AC4) program published a Chemical Reviews article on the chemistry of atmospheric “brown carbon,”– the atmospheric aerosol contributing to the brown color of smoggy air.

Pollution in urban vs. oil and gas producing regions

AC4 News, ESSM News, General News / By Kristina Kiest

A multi-institution collaboration of scientists, including those from NOAA/ESRL/CSD and those partly funded by CPO/AC4 program has resulted in an interesting study comparing the origins of similar levels of formic acid (a potential precursor to aerosols) in very different environments.

Efficiency of short-lived halogens at influencing climate through depletion of stratospheric ozone

AC4 News, General News / By Kristina Kiest

As another example of NOAA’s ongoing atmospheric measurements providing an early warning system to ensure sustainable development on global scales, a new study co-authored by Stephen Montzka of ESRL and supported by the CPO/AC4 program has found that atmospheric concentrations of chlorinated hydrocarbon (dichloromethane) gas have increased by a factor of 2 since the late 1990s throughout the globe.

CarbonTracker CT2013B Update

AC4 News, General News / By Kristina Kiest

CarbonTracker, a CO2 measurement and modeling system developed by NOAA to keep track of sources (emissions to the atmosphere) and sinks (removal from the atmosphere) of carbon dioxide around the world, has come out with its latest update: CT2013B. This effort is supported by CPO’s AC4 Program.

NOAA’s Climate Program Office awards $22.3 million to advance climate science

AC4 News, Atmospheric Chemistry, Carbon Cycle and Climate (AC4), CAP/RISA News, COCA News, CVP News, SARP News / By Kristina Kiest

NOAA’s Climate Program Office (CPO) has awarded more than $22.3 million to support 77 multi-year projects conducted by research partners. With these new awards, CPO helps improve the breadth and scope of climate research, and offers opportunities for collaboration within and integration between programs. Potential research results will likely have impacts far beyond individual projects and funding programs.
