NOAA Climate Program Office’s COM program awards nearly five hundred thousand dollars to improve precipitation datasets
CPO’s Climate Observations and Monitoring (COM) program is announcing two new two-year projects in Fiscal Year 2023 (FY23) that aim to improve the research on precipitation datasets. The competitively selected projects total four hundred seventy-nine thousand dollars in grants1. These precipitation projects, chosen in response to the Disaster Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (DRSA) of 2022
CPO announced seven new projects that will improve Precipitation Data Development and Analysis
CPO announced $1.2 million in FY23 funding for projects that aim to build new databases for precipitation information and analysis.
Solar Radiation Interacts with Complex Topography in the Tibetan Plateau to Impact Climate Near and Far
A new MAPP-funded study uncovers complex interactions between solar radiation and the topography of the Tibetan Plateau, demonstrating these relationships are crucial for accuracy in Earth System Models.
Finding New Evidence of a Clear Relationship Between Temperature and The Global Water Cycle Over the Past Two Millennia
Researchers use a new global paleoclimate data product to enhance our understanding of the ways temperature and precipitation have responded to each other over the past 2,000 years, in a new COM-supported Nature Geoscience paper.
NOAA Sea Ice Modeling Collaboration Workshop Report Defines Priorities and Key Collaborations
A report has just been published detailing the accomplishments of the NOAA Sea Ice Modeling Collaboration Workshop, held at the University of Colorado, Boulder in April 2023. The Sea Ice Modeling Collaboration Team organized this workshop, a group dedicated to advancing cross-OAR and NOAA-wide sea ice modeling activities that is sponsored by CPO’s Climate Observations and Monitoring (COM) and Climate
