Wildfire model shows that accounting for firefighting efforts is the most effective way to improve real-time fire forecasting, when AC4-funded researchers compare with observations collected during the FIREX-AQ field campaign.
Flash droughts have been extensively studied in various regions, but tropical environments, especially the Caribbean, have been overlooked. This is significant because these areas typically experience frequent, almost daily rainfall, making them highly susceptible to sudden and severe drying.
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.
CVP-funded study describes newly discovered details on the causes of steady sea level rise on the U.S. east coast over recent decades.
The interagency US CLIVAR Air-Sea Transition Zone Study Group supported by CVP and MAPP developed a strategy to improve air-sea interaction observations and modeling capabilities across multiple Earth and climate science disciplines.
Doctoral students supported by the Western Water Assessment (WWA), a NOAA CAP/RISA team, and CPO’s Modeling, Analysis, Predictions, and Projections (MAPP) program will present on the importance of snow for water supply forecasting.
COM-funded ocean carbon storage study finds model uncertainty can be reduced by half when adjusting to agree with observations, highlighting the value of collaboration between the two scientific communities.
CPO attended an open house with media representatives at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio on August 3 showcasing three research aircraft used in the NOAA- and NASA-led research campaigns as part of a coordinated nationwide effort to study air quality this summer.
A new fire emissions inventory supported by AC4 provides publicly available data on trace gases and aerosols from global fires for the years 2002 through 2021.
Registration is Open for the Earth’s Radiation Budget (ERB) Science Meeting at the NCAR/UCAR Center Green Campus, Nov 6-8 in Boulder, CO.
