Graduates of the program complete a series of tasks including the development of a climate action plan strategy for a NOAA campus, catalyzing connectivity across NOAA West DEIA communities, and developing awareness and coordination of wind energy work at a regional level.
In March (and the beginning of April) 2024, CPO held an interview campaign that highlighted four CPO staff scientists and CPO-funded scientists for Women’s History Month, and released an article about early women in Earth and climate science.

By Xinyi Zeng, Science Communications Specialist New research in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres found that low, fair-weather, cumulus clouds stimulate stronger surface energy exchange in comparison to other sky conditions over a forested landscape in northern Wisconsin. CIRES scientist Joseph Sedlar led the research along with a team of scientists from CIRES, NOAA

Given the very strong El Niño event and its likely persistence for several more months, the Western Water Assessment, a NOAA RISA program at CU Boulder, hosted a panel of local experts from NOAA ESRL and the National Weather Service on Friday, Oct. 23. They also released a 2-pager highlighting ENSO’s prospective impacts in Colorado.
