Modeling, Analysis, Predictions and Projections (MAPP)

The pandemic has presented a unique opportunity to study the atmosphere’s response to widespread and sudden emission reductions.

Researchers are studying whether tropical storms can help mitigate drought conditions in affected regions of the United States.

CPO’s Earth System Science and Modeling Division (ESSM) research was well-represented at the American Geophysical Union’s 2021 Fall Meeting.

This study is the first to construct a detailed description of a specific ocean property—mixed layer depth—and its seasonal cycle for the Northeast U.S. continental shelf. 

This new review paper presents the state of the science on tropical cyclone frequency: what we know, what remains to be figured out, and why numerical models are helping us get there.
