According to an experimental forecast issued in June, 50% of the global oceans could experience heat wave conditions by September 2023. Without ocean warming, that predicted heat wave area would drop from 50% of the global ocean to 25%. climate.gov/news-features/…

MAPP-funded research shows that the inclusion of zooplankton biomass in Earth Sysetm Models could improve the models' representation of ocean biogeochemistry. Read the study here: cpo.noaa.gov/News/News-Arti…

A new study, funded in part by MAPP and @DroughtGov has developed a high-resolution drought forecast model for the Western U.S. Watch the video below to learn more about this new #drought prediction model. 9news.com/video/news/loc…

Marine heatwave research has primarily focused on sea surface temperature extremes. While surface marine heatwaves can have dramatic impacts on marine ecosystems, new research shows how extreme warming along the seafloor can also have significant impacts. climate.gov/news-features/…

Ever wonder about the climate models scientists use to forecast El Nino? The ENSO Blog is happy to introduce you to the North American Multi-Model Ensemble, or NMME. climate.gov/news-features/…

North American Marine Heatwaves: How Do Sea Surface and Sea Floor Heat Waves Compare? A new MAPP-funded study looks at the difference between the sea surface and sea bottom marine heatwaves. cpo.noaa.gov/News/News-Arti…

In the thrall of a 22-year megadrought, the record snowpack in SW Colorado was a welcome break. When scientists installed a state-of-the-art observing network in the East River watershed in the fall of 2021, they couldn’t have imagined a year like this. climate.gov/news-features/…
