CPO’s Atmospheric Chemistry, Carbon Cycle, & Climate (AC4) program has published a workshop report titled “Advancing Atmospheric Chemistry Through the Use of Satellite Observations from the Cross-track Infrared Sounder (CrIS).”
A paper supported by CPO’s Climate Observation Division (COD) was published in Geophysical Research Letters. The paper–Seasonal variations in the aragonite saturation state in the upper open-ocean waters of the North Pacific Ocean–was published online on June 16, 2015.
The 2014/15 Tropical Cyclone Season was a very interesting and unique year. The seasonal outlook issued in October 2014 originally called for 8-12 named storms with one Australian Category 5. Predictions were based on similar years with El Niño neutral or weak seasons.

CPO’s Programs are seeking applications for 10 individual competitions in FY 2016. We estimate that $14 million will be available through this Announcement in FY 2016 for approximately 100 new awards pending budget appropriations. It is anticipated that most awards will be at a funding level between $50,000 and $300,000 per year, with some exceptions for larger awards. Visit cpo.noaa.gov/GrantsandProjects.aspx for more detailed information and instructions.

esearch supported by NOAA CPO’s Climate Variability and Predictability (CVP) program has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Atmospheric Science. The paper by Li et al., “The sensitivity of simulated shallow cumulus convection and cold pools to microphysics,” explores how two separate microphysical schemes (the Thompson and Morrison schemes) used in nested Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model simulations affect the generation of precipitation and evaporation in the model.
