Spatial Distribution of Sulfate from Volcanic Eruptions Influences Global Climate Impact

A research team funded by the Climate Program Office’s Climate Observations and Monitoring Program has published a new paper describing how the distribution of a volcanic eruption’s dispersal of sulfate aerosols impacts components of the climate system on regional and global scales. The paper, published online June 20, 2019 in Geophysical Research Letters, is entitled “Climate Impacts From Large Volcanic Eruptions in a High-Resolution Climate Model: The Importance of Forcing Structure.”

Enhanced North American carbon uptake associated with El Niño

A recent article supported by AC4 entitled “Enhanced North American carbon uptake associated with El Niño” was published June 5, 2019, in Science Advances. The study found that long-term atmospheric CO2 observations over North America document a persistent response to the El Niño–Southern Oscillation.

Little evidence of reduced global tropical cyclone activity following recent volcanic eruptions

Research led by MAPP supported PI, Dr. Suzana Camargo, examined the impact of volcanic aerosols on recent global tropical cyclone activity in observations, reanalysis, and models (including the CMIP5 multi-model).

Study shows U.S. Methane Emissions Flat since 2006 Despite Increased Natural Gas Production

A new study from ESRL/GMD (partly supported by CPO’s AC4 Program) shows that contrary to recent findings, methane emissions in the United States have not increased significantly in the past decade.
