CPO announced $1.2 million in FY23 funding for projects that aim to build new databases for precipitation information and analysis.
CPO’s Climate Observations and Monitoring (COM) Program is announcing seven new 3-year projects originally funded in Fiscal Year 2023 (FY23). The competitively selected projects total $1.2 million in FY23. These precipitation projects, motivated by NOAA’s Precipitation Prediction Grand Challenge (PPGC) strategic objectives, will help improve NOAA monitoring and modeling capabilities. NOAA plays an important role
CPO’s ERB, AC4, and CVP programs, in partnership with NESDIS STAR, are announcing four new 3-year projects originally funded in Fiscal Year 2023.
A new study funded by AC4 determines that records of wet and dry deposition provide an effective way to track sulfur and nitrogen compound emissions in the US, providing a better way to account for their long-term trends in accordance with regulatory policies.
