New MAPP-funded study highlights the importance of zooplankton representation in Earth System Models (ESMs) to future projections of ocean biogeochemistry
MAPP-funded research shows that the inclusion of zooplankton biomass in models could improve models’ representation of ocean biogeochemistry.
How Well do CMIP6 Models Represent Important Wind Flow in the Boundary Layer?
A comparative analysis of CMIP6 models and their representation of wind-turning reveals underestimation across the board, in a new Climate Process Team study supported by CVP.
New El Niño model analysis advances key source of prediction skill
New model diagnostics promise to help improve models and predictions of U.S. seasonal to multi-year climate.
Contributions to Aerosol Production from Human Activity Sources
A new study funded by AC4 uses multiple observational datasets and a GFDL model to improve our understanding of how human activities can lead to harmful atmospheric aerosol production.
NOAA Participates in the Ninth Annual US Climate Modeling Summit
CPO, GFDL and NWS representatives joined other climate modeling leaders to coordinate national goals and objectives at the ninth annual US Climate Modeling Summit workshop and meeting on April 24-26, 2023 at the NOAA/OAR Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory.
Measuring Progress On The Path to Improving NOAA Prediction Models
NOAA’s MAPP Model Diagnostics Task Force (MDTF) has developed a new approach to accelerate the development of increasingly realistic models.
Increased carbon dioxide suppresses AMOC variability in GFDL ESM2M simulation
Research funded by CPO’s Climate Variability and Predictability (CVP) and published in the Journal of Climate found that increased carbon dioxide suppresses variability of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) in GFDL ESM2M simulation.
