Description
The
Climate Program Office (CPO) supports research that is conducted across the
United States and internationally. CPO also provides strategic guidance for the
agency’s climate science and services programs and supports NOAA’s
contributions to the U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) and its
National Climate Assessment, and similar international endeavors such as the Global
Framework for Climate Services. CPO’s climate research portfolio is designed to
achieve a fully integrated research and applications program. We meet this
objective through a focus on climate intelligence and climate resilience, in
support of NOAA’s goals. Climate intelligence defines CPO’s technical strength
through its foundational capabilities, which include (1) Observations and
monitoring, (2) Research to advance scientific understanding, (3) Modeling and
prediction, (4) Communication, education, and engagement, and, (5) Climate and
societal interactions. A focus on climate resilience leverages CPO’s climate
intelligence to advance capabilities for responding to the urgent and growing
demand for reliable, trusted, transparent, and timely climate information
needed to sustain all sectors of our economy and environment. CPO’s strategy
addresses challenges in the areas of, (1) Weather and climate extremes, (2)
Climate impacts on water resources, (3) Coasts and climate resilience, (4)
Sustainability of marine ecosystems, and (5) Changing atmospheric composition
and its impacts. Making progress in addressing climate-related societal
challenges and realizing benefits for NOAA’s public and private partners,
requires that these mission-focused capabilities be integrated across CPO to
align research, applications, transitions, and operations, and to meet the
information needs of a resilient society.
