Advancing scientific understanding of climate, improving society’s ability to plan and respond
CIRC RISA has compiled a comprehensive report detailing what they’ve learned and accomplished from 2010 to 2017, providing a kind of mini climate assessment of the Pacific Northwest.
CPO’s Juli Trtanj was a lead author for the water-related illnesses chapter of the USGCRP’s: The Impacts of Climate Change on Human Health in the United States: A Scientific Assessment.
NOAA’s Climate Program Office released its FY15 Annual Report on March 11, 2016. The report gives an overview of CPO’s achievements in FY15 and highlights the great work done by the Office’s Divisions and Programs to advance scientific understanding of climate and improve society’s ability to plan and respond to a changing climate.
A new paper supported by NOAA’s Climate Variability and Predictability (CVP) program describes where we are in understanding whether subtropical clouds (and the atmosphere above and below them) will act as a positive or negative feedback to global warming.
The Southern Climate Impacts Planning Program (SCIPP), a NOAA RISA team, have released a new report on the emergency management response to the May 2013 EF-5 tornado that struck central Oklahoma.
A new report from the NOAA Drought Task Force, “Research to Advance National Drought Monitoring and Prediction Capabilities,” highlights the crucial role NOAA research plays in advancing our ability to prepare for and react to drought.
CPO’s Atmospheric Chemistry, Carbon Cycle, & Climate (AC4) program has published a workshop report titled “Advancing Atmospheric Chemistry Through the Use of Satellite Observations from the Cross-track Infrared Sounder (CrIS).”
On July 17, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the American Meteorological Society released the 2014 State of the Climate report. CPO’s Climate.gov team created highlights for this report in consultation with the report’s editors and authors.
The CPO-funded WWA RISA, in collaboration with Colorado State University, conducted a broad study of climate vulnerability for the state of Colorado. Drawing from existing data and peer-reviewed research, the study summarizes the key challenges facing seven sectors: ecosystems, water, agriculture, energy, transportation, outdoor recreation and tourism, and public health.
NOAA’s Regional Integrated Sciences and Assessments (RISA) program has released its 2013 Annual Meeting Report. The report provides a summary of insights and outcomes from the meeting, which involved knowledge transfer around research themes as well as a discussion of the practice of user-driven research.
