A research team funded in part by the Climate Program Office’s Climate Observations and Monitoring Program has published a new paper describing salinity’s significance in the rapid intensification of Atlantic tropical cyclones, and the possibility of improving our models for rapid intensification by including salinity.
Using climate projections to assess climate change risks remains challenging, in part due to the large associated uncertainties, such as those for extreme events.

Better understanding of this ozone sink is essential for improved modeling and prediction of air pollution, ecosystem health, and climate.
Changes in removal pathway has twice impact of key source on ozone pollution levels Read More »
The partnership has resulted in a number of high quality paleo datasets, without which significant advancements over the last 5 years in understanding societally-relevant risks such as drought and temperature changes in a long-term context would not have been possible.
In honor of Women’s History Month, NOAA is highlighting a few of its female scientists and funded researchers who are making significant strides in the climate sciences and other science fields. The following interview is with Dr. Lucy Hutyra, an Associate Professor in the Department of Earth and Environment at Boston University and CPO Atmospheric Chemistry, Carbon Cycle and Climate (AC4) Program-funded scientist.

The principal investigator meeting was an opportunity to complement the atmospheric composition sessions at the JPSS/GOES-R Summit, and continue AC4 efforts to leverage existing meetings to hold principal investigator meetings.
A number of researchers, funded in part by the Climate Observations and Monitoring (COM) Program, presented results that could help improve Earth-system prediction at the Ocean Sciences Meeting 2020.
Better understanding of how ozone, an air pollutant and greenhouse gas, is removed is essential for improved modeling and prediction of air pollution, ecosystem health, and climate.
New research provides unprecedented synthesis of how ozone is removed at Earth’s surface Read More »
As a program focused on value-add dataset development and analysis, the Climate Observations and Monitoring Program is keenly interested in furthering NOAA’s Big Data Project efforts through competitive research.

Using a new powerful NOAA global climate model, NOAA and partner researchers show that big spikes in daily coastal sea levels will increase in the future from the Gulf Coast to the Atlantic coast as warming progresses, but will be driven by differing forces in these two regions.
