A new COM-funded study highlights water resource challenges in the Western U.S.
CPO’s Climate Observations and Monitoring (COM) program is announcing two new two-year projects in Fiscal Year 2023 (FY23) that aim to improve the research on precipitation datasets. The competitively selected projects total four hundred seventy-nine thousand dollars in grants1. These precipitation projects, chosen in response to the Disaster Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (DRSA) of 2022
CPO’s Climate Variability and Predictability (CVP) program is announcing four new two-year projects originally funded in Fiscal Year 2023 (FY23) that aim to identify and understand key land-atmosphere processes that influence coupled-model precipitation biases in the Continental United States (CONUS). The competitively selected projects total $1.8 million in grants1. The Earth system has many interacting
A new tropical cyclone research study funded by CVP provides a new characterization of how storms transform as they move away from the equator.
