Research funded by COM, CVP, and GOMO, investigates current Argo floats and provides recommendations for future deployment of a new fleet that can measure biogeochemical variables
A new research study supported by COM, CVP, and GOMO, uses Argo data along with a coupled model to investigate the understudied wintertime formation process of water in the Southern Ocean.
New research supported by CPO’s Climate Observation Division looks into whether or not its possible to provide NOAA Global Drifter Program data at hourly resolution. This research, “A global surface drifter data set at hourly resolution,” was published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans on April 4, 2016.
Three papers funded by CPO’s Climate Observation Division (a Review Article, Perspective, and Correspondence) appeared in the February Issue of Nature Climate Change addressing monitoring and understanding the Earth’s Energy Imbalance.
This week two Deep SOLO prototypes were recovered after being in the Pacific for a little more than a year. These prototypes are able to go down to 6000m and send valuable data via satellites to scientists at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO).
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.
