Advancing scientific understanding of climate, improving society’s ability to plan and respond
The Western Water Assessment (WWA), a NOAA CAP/RISA team, and the Sectoral Applications Research Program (SARP) fund new work studying systems to identify how to achieve successful adaptation.
The SARP-funded work improved water utilities’ ability to make decisions despite extreme conditions
Sectoral Applications Research Program (SARP) Program Manager Nancy Bell-Simms moderated a presentation by former SARP investigator Michael Simpson in this Antioch University webinar.
Two speakers shared their research on developing and using vulnerability assessments.
The NOAA Climate Program Office’s Sectoral Applications Research Program (SARP) created a story map to describe how NOAA research is trying to better understand atmospheric rivers, their impacts on communities, and forecast them.
Identifying and understanding critical thresholds for extreme weather events is key for communities to develop effective adaptation strategies.
This document exemplifies a public-private collaboration between CPO and the American Planning Association to help communities incorporate weather and climate information into municipal planning.
A study funded in part by CPO’s Sectoral Applications Research Program and published in the Journal of the American Water Resources Association developed an improved reconstruction of the Columbia River streamflow.
A study partially funded by CPO’s Sectoral Applications Research Program and published in Climatic Change revealed with modeling experiments on two Midwestern communities that various precipitation scenarios represent different states of vulnerability depending on the adaptive capability of their stormwater systems.
A CPO-funded study published in the Journal of Hydrometeorology found after simulation experiments that climate variability phenomena can greatly influence water availability of the Missouri River basin.
