In May 2021, the Southern Climate Impacts Planning Program (SCIPP), a NOAA Regional Integrated Sciences and Assessments (RISA) team, in collaboration with Texas Sea Grant, released a new dashboard that shows historical trends in temperatures for locations across the state of Texas. The new dashboard offers location-specific information about changes in temperature in the last 50 years.
From its inception as an experiment to improve forecasts for aviation, to the transition of its final update to NOAA National Weather Service operations on December 2, the Global Systems ...
Cold, dense water from the Southern Ocean transfers heat and carbon to the Northern Hemisphere via the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. But a new study finds that the northward transport of cold water at 16°N weakened by about 12 percent during 2000-2020.
A team of scientists partially funded by CPO's Atmospheric Chemistry, Carbon Cycle, & Climate (AC4) program published a Chemical Reviews article on the chemistry of atmospheric "brown carbon,"-- the…
The Climate Resilience Fund will provide up to 20 competitive $10,000 grants to organizations interested in using the U.S. Climate Resilience Toolkit’s Steps to Resilience. Applications are due July 22, 2022.
From land-use planning to energy and transportation, decision makers in many sectors across the country are increasingly seeking tools, services, and resources to build resilience to ...
The Pine Island Glacier, Antarctica's fastest-melting glacier, is rapidly retreating and discharging increasing volumes of freshwater into the Southern Ocean. This freshwater can have a large-scale …
Extreme weather events have increased since the pre-industrial period, but the trend has regional variations. New research shows that the spatial structure will likely change under a high greenhouse gas emissions scenario.
A paper in the Marine Technology Society Journal , authored by Stephen R. Piotrowicz and David Legler of CPO’s Climate Observation Division (COD), describes the eight elements of Global Ocean ...
