The State of the Climate in 2023 report, led by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information and published with the American Meteorological Society, features contributions from more than a dozen NOAA and Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences researchers in GML. They supplied data and co-authored and edited chapters on the “Global Climate” and “Antarctica and the Southern Ocean.”
A new State of the Climate report published today with the @American Meteorological Society features contributions from over 590 scientists from 59 countries and provides a detailed update on the global climate in 2023. The international report confirms record-high greenhouse gases, global sea level rise, and ocean heat. Report highlights include: 🌏 Earth’s greenhouse gas concentrations were the highest on record. 🔼 Record temperatures notable across the globe. 🗺️ El Niño conditions contributed to record-high sea surface temperatures. 🌊 Ocean heat and global sea level were the highest on record. 🥵 Heatwaves and droughts contributed to massive wildfires around the globe. 🏔️ The Arctic was warm and navigable. ⚠️ Antarctic sea ice sets record lows throughout 2023. 🌀 Tropical cyclone activity was below average, but storms still set records around the globe. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/ekwNGn4E #StateofClimate2023 Un nuevo informe de El Estado del Clima publicado hoy con la @American Meteorological Society presenta contribuciones de más de 590 científicos de 59 países y provee una actualización detallada sobre el clima global del 2023. El informe internacional confirma niveles récord de gases de efecto invernadero, aumento global del nivel del mar y calor de los océanos. Los aspectos más destacados del informe incluyen: 🌏 Las concentraciones de gases de efecto invernadero en la Tierra fueron las más altas en el récord. 🔼 Temperaturas récord notables alrededor del mundo. 🗺️ Las condiciones de El Niño contribuyeron a que las temperaturas de la superficie del mar alcanzaran niveles récord. 🌊 El calor del océano y el nivel global del mar fueron los más altos registrados. 🥵 Las olas de calor y las sequías contribuyeron a que se produjeran grandes incendios forestales alrededor del planeta. 🏔️ El Ártico estuvo cálido y navegable. ⚠️ El hielo marino de la Antártida registró extensiones mínimas récord durante el 2023. 🌀 La actividad de los ciclones tropicales estuvo por debajo del promedio, pero aún así las tormentas establecieron récords alrededor del planeta.

GML's Lori Bruhwiler and CIRES/GML's Xin Lan recently received funding from NOAA’s Climate Program Office for new research projects. These projects will improve our understanding of atmospheric methane budgets to inform successful policies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and address major sources of uncertainty in methane measurements and modeling. Congrats! https://lnkd.in/eNUA5jhC

Check out this exciting news from GML's aircraft program: NOAA and United Airlines are partnering to measure greenhouse gases and other pollutants with high-tech flight instruments. This partnership could significantly improve monitoring of carbon dioxide, methane and other greenhouse gases, as well as improving the accuracy of weather forecasts in the United States. https://lnkd.in/eM8TFpgj

Congrats to Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences and GML researcher Aleya Kaushik!
Funding from NOAA's National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS) and the Inflation Reduction Act will support research that advances drought monitoring and prediction in the U.S. West. CIRES scientists are leading two of the seven projects funded through this initiative: 🌳 Advancing understanding of plant-drought interactions for landscape to regional scale drought prediction, led by CIRES scientist Aleya Kaushik. 💧 Improving hydroclimate forecasts by multi-model combination approaches for enhanced reservoir operations on the Colorado River, led by CIRES Fellow Balaji Rajagopalan.

Here are Boulder County's Climate Stripes (based on data from NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information). The rows of colored stripes show our yearly temperature and precipitation from 1895 to 2023 compared to the long-term average: red=warm, blue=cool; green=wet, brown=dry. The darker the color, the bigger the difference from average. https://lnkd.in/eHg-bXnC
