NOAA Climate Program Office’s MAPP program awards $2.7 million for new climate monitoring to support risk assessment
CPO’s Modeling, Analysis, Predictions, and Projections (MAPP) program is announcing seven new three-year projects for Fiscal Years 2022-2024 that aim to develop new model-based monitoring products addressing key climate impact areas totaling $2.7 million.
MERT has session accepted for 5th International Marine Protected Areas Congress (IMPAC5)
The session will be held in February 2023 and will serve to expand CPO’s work with national marine sanctuaries and MPAs to an international forum by leveraging CPO’s world-class climate communication’s program and the experience gained through over two years of the Marine Ecosystem Risk Team Initiative.
Fair-weather cumulus clouds are found to stimulate more surface energy exchange over a forested landscape
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 …
COM-funded research utilizes a new data assimilation tool to explore the relationship between ENSO dynamics and volcanic events
This study uses a novel approach to further explore the dynamic impacts of volcanism on ENSO.
MERT and AdSci hold successful focus group on coastal manager blue carbon adaptation and mitigation planning needs
The focus group brought together NOAA practitioners working at the intersection of climate change, blue carbon, and blue carbon habitats to foster discussion on adaptation, mitigation, and coastal ecosystem management.

COMs research featured prominently at the recent AMS Meeting.
Expected Trends and Surprises for Study on Seasonal Extreme Temperature Events Across North America
Extreme warm events are increasing in frequency, duration, and extent across North America while extreme cold events are decreasing, though COM-funded researchers find some surprising exceptions.
Monitoring the Global Ocean through Ocean Climate Indicators
NOAA’s Climate Monitoring program competitively selected two new three-year projects totaling $855,734 in grants to produce observation-based global and (preferably) regional indices that facilitate monitoring the status, trends, extremes, and variability of ocean physical properties for the benefit of research, predictions, and decision makers. The two new projects join 13 multi-year projects totaling $2.2 million, that were funded last year in the same competition.
CPO invests $2.9 million to support advances in climate monitoring
NOAA’s Climate Program Office’s (CPO) Climate Observation and Monitoring Division has awarded over $2.9 million this year to support 10 new multi-year projects to develop innovative strategies and new information products to help better detect, monitor, and understand climate variability and change.
