Sea level in Indian Ocean shows abrupt rise, new study says
A CPO-funded study was recently published in the Journal of Geophysical Research, showing an abrupt sea level rise in the northern Indian Ocean since 2003.
The role of springtime Arctic clouds in determining autumn sea ice extent
A study funded by the CPO’s Climate Observation Division confirms previous research suggesting spring clouds may be influencing arctic sea ice concentrations in the fall.
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.
Aboard new Australian ship, NOAA studies remote Southern Ocean
NOAA scientists installed NOAA’s Air-Sea Flux System on a new Australian research vessel to help expand a currently sparse database of Southern Ocean measurements.
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.
11th NOAA-Indonesia Ocean-Climate Observations, Analysis, and Applications Partnership Workshop
CPO’s Climate Observation Division will help support the 11th 11th NOAA-Indonesia Ocean-Climate Observations, Analysis, and Applications Partnership Workshop, upcoming May 13-17.
Fulfilling Observing System Implementation Requirements with the Global Drifter Array
Recent research supported by CPO’s Climate Observation Division and published in the Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology examines the 5×5 degree resolution requirements for the Global Ocean Observing System’s surface temperature and velocity measurements.
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.
A global surface drifter dataset at hourly resolution
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.
