NOAA announces $4.5M in funding for new observing technologies for ENSO research and predictions
NOAA is investing $4.5 million over the next four years in four projects testing technology to enhance the Tropical Pacific Observing System (TPOS), which improves understanding of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), how it develops, and how it affects Earth’s weather.

Chill Out: Cooling of Coastal Surface Waters Impacts Hurricane Intensity
Tropical storms like 2011’s Hurricane Irene experienced cooling in the coastal surface waters ahead of the eye of the hurricane, which reduced storm intensity, according to a CPO-funded study by Rutgers’ University Professor Scott Glenn and partners published in Nature Communications.

A reanalysis of Hurricane Camille
A modern look at one of the United States’ most destructive hurricanes indicates that it was deeper than, but not quite as intense as, originally estimated. This research, funded by CPO’s Climate Observation Division, changed the ranking intensity of Hurricane Camille.
