A new paper titled “A Review of Historical and Future Changes of Extratropical Cyclones and Associated Impacts Along the U.S. East Coast”, which was supported by the NOAA Climate Program Office’s Modeling, Analysis, Predictions and Projections (MAPP) Program, has been published as part of a “Topical Collection on Extreme Events” in the academic journal Current Climate Change Reports.
The 4th Climate and Ocean – Variability, Predictability and Change (CLIVAR) Workshop on the Evaluation of ENSO in Climate Models: ENSO in a Changing Climate will be held July 8 through July 10, 2015 in Paris, France. This workshop is jointly supported by CPO’s Modeling, Analysis, Predictions, and Projections and Earth System Science programs, as well as other international organizations.
