Strengthening Sustained Assessment with Climate Simulations

Projected change in mean seasonal precipitation (%) for the contiguous United States, for 2041–2070 with respect to the reference period of 1971–2000.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) recently released two reports that provide detailed comparisons of phases 3 and 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP3 and CMIP5) for the United States. Understanding the strengths of these simulations and the differences among models is important for sustained assessment...

Global Warming "Hiatus" Never Happened: New Study

Data show no slowdown in global warming
A NOAA-led study refutes the much-publicized idea that there has been a recent slowdown or “hiatus” in the rate of global warming. The study finds that global warming during the last 15 years has progressed as fast or faster than during the latter half of the 20th century.

Modeling Summit Bridges Weather & Climate, Research & Operations

The U.S. Climate Modeling Summit brought together representatives from the Nation’s major research and operational climate modeling programs
A new white paper highlights outcomes from the first annual U.S. Climate Modeling Summit. The Summit brought together leadership from the country’s six premier climate modeling centers to strategize around priorities of national interest—from experimental efforts that move science forward to forecasts and projections that inform on-the-ground decisions.

Agencies to Partner for More Resilient Lands & Waters

Lands and waters provide essential habitat as well as services that people rely on
The Department of the Interior, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration recently announced four collaborative landscape partnerships to make important lands and waters more resilient to climate change. Federal agencies will work with local, state, and tribal organizations in southwest Florida, Hawaiʻi, Washington, and the Great Lakes.

From Thawing Permafrost, Slow but Steady Emissions Likely

Thawing permafrost releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere
A new synthesis published in Nature suggests that thawing Arctic permafrost will release greenhouse gases gradually, rather than in a sudden "bomb". The gradual rate of these natural emissions may give society more time to adapt to their effects, but they remain a challenge for climate mitigation.

Toward A More Climate-Literate America

Earth from space
A new Administration initiative aims to “lift America’s game” in climate education, literacy, and training. USGCRP agencies will play a central part in this effort to connect students and citizens with the best-available scientific information about climate change.

Science & Services for Caribbean Climate Resilience

A storm approaches a Caribbean coastline
In the Caribbean, the economic importance of agriculture and tourism—combined with rural poverty and vulnerability to extreme events like hurricanes and droughts—makes adapting to climate change an urgent necessity. The International Research and Applications Project (IRAP) aims to build resilience in the Caribbean through a better understanding of how climate information can enable regional risk management.
