Climate Process Teams – Transferring Understanding of Ocean and Atmospheric Processes into Climate Model Improvements

CVP News, Funding Opportunities/NOFO News / By

NOAA’s Climate Variability and Predictability (CVP) Program, in partnership with the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Department of Energy (DOE), is announcing three new three-year Climate Process Team projects. These projects aim to accelerate improvements in representing oceanic and atmospheric processes in climate models through interdisciplinary research teams. The competitively selected projects total $2.3 […]

Atmospheric Chemistry, Carbon Cycle, and Climate: Long Term Trends in Observations of Atmospheric Composition

AC4 News, Funding Opportunities/NOFO News / By

NOAA’s Atmospheric Chemistry. Carbon Cycle, and Climate (AC4) Program is funding 10 new 3-year projects that aim to explain trends, patterns and extremes detectable in the existing long – term observational records of atmospheric composition. The competitively selected projects total $5 million over three years, including $4 million in grants and $1 million in other

Old weather “time machine” opens a treasure trove for researchers

Climate Monitoring, Earth System Science and Modeling (ESSM), General Site News and Events, MAPP News / By

This month, a research team, funded in part by CPO’s Climate Observations and Monitoring Program and Modeling, Analysis, Predictions, and Projections Program, published an update to a weather “time machine” they’ve been developing since 2011. This third version of the 20th Century Reanalysis Project, or 20CRv3 for short, is a dauntingly complex, high-resolution, four-dimensional reconstruction of the global climate that estimates what the weather was for every day back to 1836.

Heat waves could increase substantially in size by mid-century, says new study

CAP/Regional Integrated Science and Assessments (RISA), CAP/RISA News, Climate and Societal Interactions (CSI), Climate Monitoring, CSI News, Earth System Science and Modeling (ESSM) / By

Our planet has been baking under the sun this summer as temperatures reached the hottest ever recorded and heat waves spread across the globe. While the climate continues to warm, scientists expect the frequency and intensity of heat waves to increase. However, a commonly overlooked aspect is the spatial size of heat waves, despite its important implications.

MAPP-funded researchers find predictability of warm West Coast ocean temperatures not solely due to El Niño

Earth System Science and Modeling (ESSM), ESSM News, General Site News and Events, MAPP News / By

During the winter of 2014 and 2015, the US west coast (USWC) experienced record high temperatures extending from Baja California to the Gulf of Alaska. This record warming, as high as 3°C in some areas, greatly impacted the California Current System (CCS) and Gulf of Alaska marine ecosystems. However, tropical Pacific sea surface temperature anomalies were weak during 2014, calling into question their role in the USWC warming period.
