Advancing scientific understanding of climate, improving society’s ability to plan and respond
The interagency US CLIVAR Air-Sea Transition Zone Study Group supported by CVP and MAPP developed a strategy to improve air-sea interaction observations and modeling capabilities across multiple Earth and climate science disciplines.
Doctoral students supported by the Western Water Assessment (WWA), a NOAA CAP/RISA team, and CPO’s Modeling, Analysis, Predictions, and Projections (MAPP) program will present on the importance of snow for water supply forecasting.
CPO staff, collaborators, and funded scientists engage in discussions on topics like climate impact on humans, indigenous peoples’ climate information needs, and the importance of the Southern Ocean in climate models, resulting in key research outcomes.
A new Nature Communications publication supported by the CVP and MAPP programs describes improved observational evidence for relationships between tropical weather patterns, providing a tool to improve climate models and projections of high-impact weather events like tropical cyclones, monsoons, and more.
Dr. Paul Miller, a member of the MAPP Drought Task Force, was awarded the Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER) award for his research on understanding the mechanisms leading to early warning of meteorological and hydrological drought in the U.S. Caribbean. He is a co-investigator on a project led by Dr. Thomas Mote from the …

Two months after MAPP’s Marine Ecosystem Task Force published a comment in Nature calling for clearer definitions of marine heatwaves, a newly published article in Frontiers assesses marine heat waves in the Mediterranean Sea and questions the usefulness of fixed or moving baselines.
New model diagnostics promise to help improve models and predictions of U.S. seasonal to multi-year climate.
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.
US CLIVAR’s Scientific Steering Committee meets to review progress, priorities, and examine the evolving climate science landscape.
More than two decades of oceanographic and meteorological data shedding light on upwelling processes off the coast of Oregon is compiled and made public for the first time by an Oregon State University team of scientists supported by a COM-MAPP-CSI collaboration
