A report has just been published detailing the accomplishments of the NOAA Sea Ice Modeling Collaboration Workshop, held at the University of Colorado, Boulder in April 2023. The Sea Ice Modeling Collaboration Team organized this workshop, a group dedicated to advancing cross-OAR and NOAA-wide sea ice modeling activities that is sponsored by CPO’s Climate Observations and Monitoring (COM) and Climate
It is well known that within the Maritime Continent, a meteorological term for the region between the Indian and Pacific Oceans, enhanced water mixing processes from tides cause colder sea surface temperatures. An important question is exactly how much this process contributes to broader ocean and climate conditions. A new study, supported by the Climate
A new CVP-funded study finds that data assimilation in tropical Pacific models can improve sea surface temperature, but may not benefit predictions of mixed layer depth, providing important context for the most accurate and efficient ways to produce forecasts in this region.
How Does Data Assimilation Impact Subseasonal Tropical Pacific Forecasts? Read More »
A new study supported by CVP finds that tropical Atlantic climate trends are largely driven by greenhouse gas emissions from human activities as well as aerosols from volcanic activity since 1950, rather than internal tropical systems.

Driven by the increasing demand for climate information on a longer timescale, CVP has supported modeling studies on the topic of Decadal Climate Variability and Predictability. The majority of these studies have already yielded results, and in the spring of 2023, CVP hosted a webinar series to highlight their latest findings.
