A new Climate Program Office-sponsored study published in the journal Climate Dynamics and led by Drs. Sun-Seon Leon and Bin Wang from the University of Hawaii has identified the characteristic wind and cloud variations associated with the two main areas of thunderstorm activity over the Indian Ocean and West Pacific that make up the BSISO.
A webinar titled “Ten Years Since Hurricane Katrina: Progress in Hurricane Modeling, Prediction, Decision Support, and Coastal Resilience” will take place on Tuesday, July 28, 2015. The announcement is provided below; you are invited to remotely join the session.
A new NOAA Climate Program Office-sponsored study on extreme temperatures has been published in the prestigious academic journal Nature. The article describes how changes in the frequency of certain atmospheric circulation patterns are linked to observed changes in the frequency of regional temperature extremes during recent decades.
