NOAA’s Climate Variability and Predictability (CVP) program competitively funded 11 new three-year projects totaling $4.6 million in grants and $1.2 million in other awards to support 38 researchers, postdocs, and students at 15 institutions.
Work supported by CPO’s AC4 program found that the effects of melting permafrost in the Arctic could cost $43 trillion in extra economic damage by the end of the next century, on top of the more than the $300 trillion economic damage already predicted.
The NOAA CPO Modeling, Analysis, Prediction, and Projections (MAPP) program hosted a webinar on the topic of Arctic Modeling: Improving Models and Predictions in the Arctic on Tuesday, January 13, 2015. The announcement is provided below; you are invited to remotely join the session.
In 2014, NOAA’s Climate Program Office, led by Director Wayne Higgins, went through the process of rearticulating its mission, vision, and unique value through the development of the CPO Strategic Plan. The office also made major progress on an Implementation Plan that provides a roadmap to achieving important outcomes in climate science.
The highlights for the State of the Climate in 2013 report were created by the Climate.gov team in consultation with the report’s editors and authors at NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center.
