Advancing scientific understanding of climate, improving society’s ability to plan and respond
The NOAA Climate and Global Change (C&GC) Postdoctoral Fellowship Program is proud to announce a transition in its leadership, continuing the decades-long tradition of the Climate Program Office (CPO) supporting the flagship NOAA program, which is operated by UCAR. Dr. Monika Kopacz will succeed Dr. Ginny Selz, who has provided exemplary program leadership as federal […]
NOAA Climate Program Office, in collaboration with NOAA’s PPGC Implementation Team, will be hosting a Precipitation Prediction Grand Challenge (PPGC) Research Workshop.

Large-scale atmospheric circulation changes drive the increased summer activity of atmospheric rivers, contributing to the rising moisture levels in the Arctic.
Today, the NOAA announced $4.9 million in funding for the agency’s labs and research partners to improve drought monitoring and prediction in the American West. This research combines $3.1 million in funding from NOAA’s National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS) program and $1.8 million from the Inflation Reduction Act to improve decision-makers’ capacity to protect life, property and ecosystems
New insight into daily warming patterns in the tropical Pacific illuminates the stabilizing and destabilizing drivers for the ocean and atmosphere, which will be essential to improving climate models and projections.
