Attributing observed Greenland responses to natural and anthropogenic climate forcings

AC4 News, Atmospheric Chemistry, Carbon Cycle and Climate (AC4), General News / By

Research supported by the NOAA Climate Program Office has recently been published in the journal Climate Dynamics. The paper by Andres and Peltier, “Attributing observed Greenland responses to natural and anthropogenic climate forcings,” enhances our understanding of the contributions of anthropogenic forcing and natural variability to changing precipitation, increased surface temperatures, and subsequent melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet.

CPO scientists help Palauan students explore their connection to the ocean

Climate.gov RSS, COM News, General News / By

During first week of May, scientists from 12 different countries met for the first Data Buoy Cooperation Panel (DBCP) Pacific Islands Training Workshop on Ocean Observations and Data Applications in Koror, Palau. While they were there, they had an opportunity to meet with Palauan students and explore how the ocean is deeply embedded in their heritage.

An Analysis of the Temporal Evolution of ENSO Prediction Skill in the Context of the Equatorial Pacific Ocean Observing System

COM News / By

An analysis in the Monthly Weather Review supported by CPO’s Climate Observation Division found that sub-surface ocean observations in the equatorial tropical Pacific Ocean dramatically increased after 1990s due to the completion of the TAO moored array and a steady increase in Argo floats.
