GOMO Helps Launch Ocean Observing in the Arabian Sea
Every day, thousands of ocean observations are collected in the Indian Ocean from massive moored buoys, beach ball-sized drifters, robotic floats, and other instruments in the water. The data collected by these observing instruments helps scientists improve predictions of monsoons in India and weather and climate patterns that affect the United States. Building on the success of this observing program, NOAA is now expanding ocean observations into the Arabian Sea.
Through the Global Ocean Monitoring and Observing Program (GOMO), NOAA has maintained a
decade-long partnership
with India’s Ministry of Earth Sciences (
MoES
) in the name of ocean and atmospheric observations for improved weather and climate prediction. In 2021, the partners launched a new joint
oceanographic data portal
that makes data from the
RAMA-OMNI
moored buoy array in the Indian Ocean publicly available for the benefit of global science, forecasting, and disaster preparedness. Expanding into the Arabian Sea is part of the Enhancing Knowledge of the Arabian Sea Marine Environment through Science and Advanced Technology Program, or
EKAMSAT
, which has been in the works since 2021. GOMO Program Manager Dr. Sid Thurston visited India in August 2022 to help develop a plan to launch EKAMSAT.
Thurston participated in a programmatic meeting in New Delhi with Secretary Dr. M. Ravichandran, India’s Ministry of Earth Sciences, and the U.S. Navy Office of Naval Research (ONR)’s Dr. Emily Shroyer. The remainder of the meetings were held in Hyderabad at India’s National Center for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS).  These discussions focused on finalizing a science plan and included participation from prominent scientists Dr. Mike McPhaden (NOAA/PMEL), Dr. Craig Lee (University of Washington), and Dr. Tom Farrar (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute).
Looking forward, the three partners agreed on a plan to expand ocean observations into the Arabian Sea beginning in 2023. ONR, which has funded research in the Bay of Bengal, will be funding
UNOLS
ships in the Arabian Sea and the work of U.S. scientists interested in the Indian Ocean. NOAA GOMO will contribute with RAMA moorings (three mooring have been in the Arabian Sea since 2018), drifting buoys from the
Global Drifter Program
, and other in situ ocean observations. India will be providing ship time to service moorings, deploy expendables and fund Indian research scientists. In addition to this coordinated expansion of ocean observations, the partners will work to get the existing RAMA array back to 70% data reporting by the end of 2023, which was devastated by the halt in servicing due to the COVID pandemic.

Improving Hurricane Predictions by Observing the Ocean with Cheyenne Stienbarger
Jessica Mkitarian
June 15, 2022
Extreme Events
,
News
This World Ocean Month, we sat down with Global Ocean Monitoring and Observing (GOMO) Program Manager Cheyenne Stienbarger to learn more about how ocean observing research can help improve predictions of extreme events.
What is your role in GOMO?
I am a program manager for the Tropical Pacific Observing System (TPOS) and the Extreme Events programs. In this role, I am not the one
doing
the science, rather, I am
supporting
the ones who are. I work closely with scientists and other program managers across NOAA, academic institutions, and international organizations on issues related to extreme climate and weather phenomena.
What was your background before this role?
Definitely not oceanography! I have a master’s degree in marine biology from the University of North Carolina, Wilmington (UNCW). My thesis research was the result of a collaborative
NOAA Marine Debris Program
grant that focused on assessing the consequences of microplastic ingestion across multiple life stages of the Black sea bass. I’ve always been passionate about understanding changes to the ocean and climate, as well as the people who are impacted by those changes. Throughout my master’s program, I quickly discovered that the research/academic path
wasn’t the best fit for me
. Seeking a different experience that still allowed me to find fulfillment and feel like I was making a positive difference for society, I applied for the
John A. Knauss Marine Policy Fellowship
– which brought me to NOAA and the GOMO program in early 2020!
What made you choose the Global Ocean Monitoring and Observing Program for your fellowship?
My interest was piqued immediately upon learning about GOMO – especially since our office supports over 50% of the world’s ocean observations, which are necessary for climate and weather prediction models and helping us understand our changing ocean and its impact on the environment. This, along with the major international engagement that comes with being a truly global office, was more than enough to convince me that I would find fulfillment working at GOMO.
As the manager of the Extreme Events program, what interests you about hurricanes and extreme event research?
Hurricanes and other tropical cyclones are among the most destructive weather events on Earth, with negative impacts that are increasingly amplified by warming oceans, rising sea levels, and growing coastal populations –  and that disproportionately affects less developed countries and small island developing states.
Improved hurricane forecasts serve society by protecting lives and reducing the risk of property damage.
Additionally, only a few months after moving out of the landlocked Midwest to attend graduate school at UNCW, Hurricane Florence directly hit Wilmington in September 2018. Hurricane Florence resulted in the loss of many homes, business, and lives, as well as the destruction of UNCW’s Biology & Chemistry building. This caused millions of dollars in damage, ruined hundreds of irreplaceable samples, and disrupted several months of graduate school for many students, including me.
My first and only personal experience with a hurricane has deepened my appreciation for the work with the people who provide observational data for the forecasts, who evaluate the forecasts, and who issue the forecasts. Being able to work with this community directly has been incredibly rewarding for me.
What information is needed to improve hurricane forecasts?
NOAA’s
National Hurricane Center
has seen a great improvement in the forecasted
track
of the storms, which is the path a storm will follow before potentially making landfall. While these track forecasts have improved nearly 70% over the last 40 years, forecasts of
intensity
(the strength of the storm, measured by category level) are still less accurate, particularly when storms rapidly intensify.
Many experts consider that the limited improvement in intensity forecasting is partially attributed to an incomplete understanding of the role of the ocean – today more than 80 percent of the ocean is still
unmapped, unexplored and unobserved
. Ocean observations have been increasingly acknowledged by scientists as critical to improving the prediction of hurricane intensity. This is part of the motivation for developing the Extreme Events Ocean Observations Task Team and for utilizing ocean observations to improve our understanding of the ocean
underneath
the tropical cyclones.
Tell us about GOMO’s Extreme Events program.
There is a rich history of expertise across NOAA for
hurricane research
and forecasting, which has largely focused on the coordination of NOAA aircraft and atmospheric observations.
However, the coordination of in situ
ocean observations
was largely lacking.
As a Knauss fellow in mid-2020, I co-organized (alongside
Dr. Sid Thurston
, another GOMO program manager) the Extreme Events Ocean Observations Task Team (EEOOTT) to provide a unifying organizational infrastructure for NOAA and external partners to coordinate ocean observing efforts related to tropical cyclones and to build a bridge between the ocean observing and modeling communities.
In January 2021, we brought together observing and modeling scientists from across NOAA, other federal agencies, the private sector, and academic institutions for a three day workshop. At this workshop, we created a list of priority recommendations for improving NOAA’s hurricane intensity forecasts using ocean observations. Moving forward with these recommendations will require participation from several scientific communities including ocean observing, meteorology, and modeling  across NOAA and external partners.
The EEOOTT consists of about 30 members across NOAA’s programs, labs, and Cooperative Institutes. The team meets regularly during the hurricane season (June 1 – November 30) to coordinate ocean observations across the Mid-Atlantic, Southeast Atlantic, Caribbean, and Gulf of Mexico.
Why are ocean observations important?
According to Frank Marks (the director of AOML’s Hurricane Research Division),
“The more we understand about how the ocean fuels tropical storms, the better the forecast will be.”
Ocean observations help us improve prediction of weather and extreme events, such as floods, droughts, and hurricanes, monitor changes over time, such as ocean warming, carbon uptake, ocean health, improve maritime safety and navigation, and much more. Ocean observations are conducted using a variety of tools, also called platforms. GOMO and other members of the ocean observing community support several
ocean observing platforms
that provide relevant information for understanding hurricanes. These include
drifters
,
Argo floats
, eXpendable BathyThermographs (
XBTs
),
Saildrones
, and
underwater gliders
.
What are the next steps for the Extreme Events program?
As you may have
read
, forecasters at NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center are predicting above-average hurricane activity this year – which would make it the seventh consecutive above-average hurricane season. With this in mind, we are planning for a 2023 pilot ‘integrated field campaign’ to provide a coordinated, multi-institutional, and multi-observing platform approach to fully capture many of the ocean features that affect the intensity changes of hurricanes. We will also be working with modelers to integrate ocean observations into the models that predict hurricanes.
It is important to have ocean observations before, during, and after the passage of a hurricane to understand how the ocean affects the storm and how the storm affects the ocean.
Coupled with atmospheric observations, ocean observations can improve the representation of the ocean in models that go into forecasts, ultimately helping us better understand how the intensity of hurricanes changes.
Our hope is that with improved observations, we can improve our forecasts and ultimately save lives and property.

New & Improved Outreach Tool to Track Research Vessels in the Arctic
IARPC Launches New 2022 Activity Compilation
The Interagency Arctic Research Policy Committee
(IARPC
) is pleased to launch the new and improved
2022 Planned Research Vessel Activities
compilation webpage that provides information on planned research expeditions through Alaska and Arctic waters. The aim of this outreach tool is to improve collaboration among Arctic researchers and expand communications and coordination between local and Indigenous communities throughout the year. Research vessels travel through these waters to help us better understand changes in the Arctic and their impacts on all the life that it supports. This year, a total of 30 research expeditions are planned in the Arctic region.
New to this year’s compilation are plain language summaries of each research activity, relevant project links, contact information, and mechanisms on how to access cruise data. The research vessel compilation will also be available on the Alaska Ocean Observing System
(AOOS) website
, and the spreadsheet and descriptions will be periodically updated and emailed out to stakeholders. IARPC will post when each expedition begins on
Facebook
and
Twitter,
and provide updates on expeditions in the
IARPC newsletter
. A communications plan is also in the works to ensure that this information will reach the target audiences of Arctic researchers and coastal communities.
To facilitate information sharing and collaboration, the IARPC Field Operations Working Group will also hold a Pre-Field Season Meeting on
27 June 2022 at 2pm ET / 10am AKT
. At this meeting, researchers will share information about their upcoming expeditions that is relevant to other researchers and coastal communities. This meeting is open to anyone who wants to join and it will also be recorded.
The 2022 Research Vessel Activities tool was compiled and created by IARPC and NOAA Global Ocean Monitoring and Observing (GOMO) Arctic Research Program Knauss Fellow Cynthia Garcia-Eidell. Input on the research activity compilation was received from multiple federal agencies and partners. For any questions, please contact Cynthia Garcia-Eidell,
cynthia.garcia@noaa.gov
and Jill Prewitt (AOOS),

Monitoring Arctic Change in 2020
From spring to early fall in a typical year, NOAA and research partners conduct several important scientific surveys in the U.S. waters of the Bering and Chukchi Seas. Scientists collect oceanographic and biological data that are used to inform fisheries management, monitor whale populations and support Arctic ecosystem and climate studies.
This annual research is essential to understanding a rapidly changing Arctic.
But this was no usual year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. While NOAA has had to cancel many of its planned research surveys in Alaska, it has been able to conduct a number of scaled-back research surveys in 2020. One such survey was conducted on board
NOAA Ship
Oscar Dyson
and collected critical data supporting a long time series involving many scientific partners.
With the help of the
Oscar Dyson
’s crew, which has gone above and beyond their normal duties to assist the scientists during the survey and ensure the continued collection of data, scientists are retrieving and deploying
some of the moorings
that gather data year-round in the Bering and Chukchi Seas. These moorings are equipped with sensors to collect measurements of nutrients and oceanographic conditions (including currents, temperature, salinity, oxygen, and fluorescence) to better understand the health of this marine ecosystem and how it may be changing. Some of the mooring sites have been operating continuously for more than 20 years and provide critical ocean measurements during the ice-covered winter and spring months.
“What is really remarkable about this survey is that scientists and crew are stepping forward to collect data for fellow scientists who aren’t able to get out this year,” said Phyllis Stabeno, NOAA PMEL oceanographer. “It’s a great example of teamwork at its best.”
In addition to this research cruise, the
Norseman II
has set out to evaluate ecosystem status and change at the Distributed Biological Observatory (DBO) time-series sites, to deploy a mooring and sediment trap in the northern Bering Sea, and to turn around the Chukchi Ecosystem Observatory mooring array in the NE Chukchi Sea. The cruise departed in early October from Nome, Alaska with a limited scientific team participating for the planned water column and sediment sampling on the five DBO transect lines in the northern Bering and Chukchi Seas. Collaboration with AMBON supports eDNA collections as well as cross-data evaluation through the NOAA Arctic Research Program water column and benthic DBO data collections, and the Alaska Harmful Algal Bloom (HAB) network for sediment studies. This DBO fall cruise is a consortium of funded projects from NOAA, the North Pacific Research Board (NPRB), National Ocean Partnership Program (NOPP) Arctic Marine Biodiversity Observing Network (AMBON), and Alaska Ocean Observing System (AOOS), focused on benthic sampling as well as water column measurements.

Carbon emissions rebound to near pre-pandemic levels, according to 2021 Global Carbon Budget released at COP26

Carbon emissions rebound to near pre-pandemic levels, according to 2021 Global Carbon Budget released at COP26
Global carbon emissions are projected to bounce back to 36.4 billion metric tons this year after an unprecedented drop caused by the response to the coronavirus pandemic, according to the
2021 Global Carbon Budget
, released November 4, 2021 by the
Global Carbon Project.
The Global Carbon Budget is updated annually, and this year the findings were released as world leaders meet at
COP26
in Glasgow, Scotland, to address the climate crisis and try to agree on a plan of action going forward.
While total emissions of carbon dioxide, or CO2, from fossil fuel use and land-use change combined have remained relatively constant around 40 billion metric tons over the past decade, emissions from China and India continue to increase as emissions of CO2 generated by the United States and European Union continue to decline.
The report concludes that at current levels of pollution, the world has 11 years left before global warming surges past the Paris Agreement goal of limiting global temperature rise to
1.5 degrees Celsius
(2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial levels. Reaching net zero CO2 emissions by 2050 would require cutting total CO2 emissions by roughly the same amount observed during the coronavirus slowdown – every year.
NOAA’s ocean and atmospheric CO2 measurements are essential for understanding the global carbon cycle – the amount of carbon emitted to the atmosphere and the amount removed by carbon sinks such as terrestrial plants, soils, and the ocean. Carbon sinks are important to understand because they help to offset greenhouse gas pollution that would otherwise accumulate more rapidly in the atmosphere.
Land and ocean CO2 sinks combined take up about half of the CO2 emitted to the atmosphere during the period from 2011-2020. A series of modeling studies suggests that during the same period climate change reduced the land sink by about 15% and the ocean sink by about 5%. However, ocean observations suggest that the ocean sink increased over that time period, which points to the need for additional investigation. To address this gap,
NOAA has committed
to establishing a Global Operational Surface Ocean CO2 Network that can deliver information and data on the ocean carbon sink in a timely fashion.
Scientists from 70 institutions on five continents contribute to the Global Carbon Budget, including several NOAA scientists from the
Pacific Marine Environmental Lab
, the
Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Lab
and the
Global Monitoring Lab
. Research and observations conducted by scientists at these labs is largely supported by the
Global Ocean Monitoring and Observing Program
.

Global Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Levels Continue to Rise

Annual Global Carbon Budget Report Released
The following is a reposting of the article originally
published by NOAA Research
on November 14, 2022.
Global carbon dioxide emissions in 2022 remain at record levels and natural carbon sinks are being impacted by climate change, according to
a report published last week by the Global Carbon Project
.
The publication, produced by an international team of more than 100 scientists including many experts from NOAA, projects that atmospheric CO
2
concentrations will reach an average of 417.2 parts per million in 2022, more than 50 percent above pre-industrial levels. The projection of 40.6 billion tonnes of CO
2
emissions in 2022 is close to the 40.9 billion tonnes of CO
2
noted in 2019, which is the highest annual total ever recorded.
If the current level of emissions persists, there is a 50 percent chance that global warming of 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) will be exceeded in nine years, the opposite trend needed to reverse climate change.
The report also provides a detailed accounting of carbon storage in the ocean and land.
“Looking closely at the observational data, we have learned that the ocean’s capacity to be a sink is finite,”
says Rik Wanninkhof, an ocean carbon cycle expert at NOAA’s
Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory
and a contributor to the report. “Natural sinks are not as steady and robust as we have believed in the past. Understanding human influence on the global carbon budget is extremely important, but we also have to understand the natural world’s contributions to the budget. This report provides consensus on changes in our planet’s carbon reservoirs.”
This figure shows how the ocean absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. forming a sink for carbon that can reduce the potential for atmospheric warming. The carbon in the ocean, however, can lead to a more acidic ocean. Credit: NOAA PMEL
Carbon storage: Nature’s role
The Global Carbon Budget is increasingly focused on the investigation of natural sinks, those processes on land and ocean which absorb and store carbon. The ocean and land CO
2
sinks continue to increase in response to the atmospheric CO
2
increase, although climate change reduced this growth by an estimated 4 percent (ocean sink) and 17 percent (land sink) over the 2012-2021 decade. Some of the reduction is due to climate change itself. The ocean is warming, and a warmer ocean will not take up as much.
Land-use changes, especially deforestation, are a significant source of CO
2
emissions – equivalent to about a tenth of the amount of CO
2
coming from fossil fuel emissions. Emissions from land-use change are projected to reach 3.9 billion tonnes of of CO
2
in 2022.
Planting new forests counterbalances half of the deforestation emissions, and the report notes that there are opportunities to stop or slow deforestation and restore or expand existing forests to better balance the carbon budget.
The 2022 fossil fuel numbers
The report also accounts for emissions that add CO
2
to the atmosphere. In 2022, fossil CO
2
emissions are projected to reach 36.6 billion tonnes of of CO
2
– slightly above pre-COVID-19 levels.
Projected emissions from coal and oil are above their 2021 levels, with oil being the largest contributor to total emissions growth. The growth in oil-burning emissions is largely explained by the delayed rebound of international aviation following COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.
The report’s authors note that it would now require a yearly decrease in fossil fuel consumption, or increasing the natural sinks by about 1.4 billion tonnes of CO
2
to reach net-zero CO
2
emissions by 2050. That decrease would be comparable to the observed drop in emissions resulting from the 2020 COVID-19 lockdowns, highlighting the scale of the action required.
This year’s carbon budget does show that the long-term rate of fossil emission increases has slowed, however that trend is very small. The average rise peaked at 3 percent per year during the 2000s, while growth in the last decade has been about 0.5 percent per year.
About the Report
The Global Carbon Project is an international research project within the Future Earth research initiative on global sustainability, and a research partner of the World Climate Research Programme. It aims to develop a complete picture of the global carbon cycle, including both its biophysical and human dimensions together with the interactions and feedbacks between them.
NOAA contributed approximately half of all the of CO
2
ocean and atmospheric observations made in this year’s edition, including work from the
Global Monitoring Laboratory,
Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory
and the Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory, with support from
NOAA’s Global Ocean Monitoring and Observing program
.
The
Global Carbon Budget 2022
is the 17th edition of the annual update that started in 2006, and the 11th edition made available as a living data collection in the journal Earth System Science Data.

15th Annual US-Indonesia (NOAA-BMKG) Partnership Workshop a Virtual Success
The 15th Annual US-Indonesia Partnership Workshop was held from September 9-11, 2020. This annual workshop brings together NOAA and BMKG colleagues for a series of ocean observing capacity building workshops led by NOAA scientists. The workshop was originally planned to take place in
Lake Toba, Indonesia
. Instead, it was held virtually, despite a 12 hour time difference between participants. GOMO Program Manager Sidney Thurston said the workshop exceeded expectations and was able to include even more participants than if it were held in person. Thurston says a highlight was the ability of the partners to maintain momentum despite the pandemic and the 9pm start time on the East Coast. RDML Timothy Gallaudet delivered welcome remarks at the start of the workshop, and noted the value of this strategic partnership, calling it a “national treasure.”
In addition to annual workshops, the NOAA-BMKG partnership provides NOAA 30 days of free ship time from Indonesia to service
RAMA
buoys. Every year, NOAA also hosts scientists from BMKG at the Climate Prediction Center in College Park, Maryland. This partnership helps Indonesia build its observing capacity, resulting in improved forecasts.

Past Events
From June 8-11th, roughly 1,000 high school students and 4,000 members of the public gathered to celebrate and learn about the oceans during a multi-day outreach event for
World Ocean Day
in Cape Town, South Africa. Visitors were exposed to life as a sea-going marine scientist through a tour of the
440 foot South African Agulhas II research vessel
and were given hands-on demonstrations of the use of state-of-the-art ocean observing platforms, including Argo floats, satellite tracked drifting buoys, and buoyancy gliders (see picture below). The importance of ocean health and ocean observing capabilities was further emphasized by
the commemoration of the event by South African Minister of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment
, Ms Barbara Creecy.

.
This celebration of World Ocean Day was co-hosted by members of the Observation Coordination Group of the
Global Ocean Observing System
(GOOS), including Ann-Christine Zinkann from NOAA’s Global Ocean Monitoring and Observing Program (GOMO), and colleagues at the Department of Forestry, Fisheries, and the Environment Oceans and Coasts Physics team, the South African Environmental Observations Network (SAEON), the Antarctic Legacy of South Africa (ALSA), and Sea Technology Services (STS).

The Observation Coordination Group is chaired by NOAA GOMO Director David Legler and aims to advance the operation, maintenance, coordination and integration of 12 global ocean observing networks, including
Argo
, Ocean Reference Stations (
OceanSITES
), and
GO-SHIP
, among others (learn more
here
). Prior to the outreach event, the 14th session of the
Observation Coordination Group
(OCG) assembled in Cape Town and hosted two additional workshops that were focused on
low-cost technologies
and boundary currents systems.
Through their leadership positions, Legler and Zinkann collaborate with international partners, organizations, and networks to design, build, and grow the ocean observing system. Ocean observations are vital to sustaining ocean health and economies, improving weather forecasting, and understanding the effects of climate change. These areas of study influence the entire planet, not just single nations or coasts, and thus require leadership and coordination through large international bodies, like GOOS.

.
GOMO advances NOAA’s mission by providing leadership in multiple international fora, including
GOOS
, the World Meteorological Organization (
WMO
), the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (
Ocean Decade
), the UNESCO Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (
IOC
), and the Sustaining Arctic Observing Network (
SAON
), among others. This leadership involves a wide range of activities including overseeing the creation and implementation of new observing technologies, assessing the health and coverage of the global observing system, developing industry, governmental, non-governmental, and academic partnerships, and providing strategic guidance and assessments for further international and national investments. By participating in these fora, gaps, overlaps, and opportunities are defined and addressed, and the overall utility of international ocean science improved.
Our global ocean not only makes all life on Earth possible, but brings together distant communities in shared recreation, cultural practices, fishing and harvest, marine jobs and economies, and research. First established in 1992,
World Ocean Day
provides the opportunity for the world to celebrate, promote, and protect our planet. This year, GOMO is thankful for the opportunity to honor ocean health and ocean observations with international colleagues and communities, in Cape Town and beyond.

NOAA Research Reorganization Highlights Importance of Ocean Observing
OOMD becomes GOMO
On April 2, 2020, NOAA Research
officially announced the reorganization
of NOAA labs and programs to better reflect their missions and contributions. Included in the reorganization is the promotion of the former Ocean Observing and Monitoring Division (OOMD) under the Climate Program Office (CPO) to the Global Ocean Monitoring and Observing (GOMO) Program. GOMO continues to support half of the world’s ocean observing research. Ocean observations are used in climate and weather prediction models and help us understand our changing ocean and its impact on the environment. We welcome you to read our
updated mission and vision
and learn more about NOAA Research’s
reorganization effort.
We especially thank our team at the
Climate Program Office
for its leadership and look forward to collaborations.

Climate Variability in Ocean Surface Turbulent Fluxes

Climate Variability in Ocean Surface Turbulent Fluxes
Period of Activity: 01 October 2018 – 30 September 2019
Principal Investigator: Dr. Mark A. Bourassa, Center for Ocean-Atmospheric Prediction Studies
Project Summary
Florida State University (FSU) produces monthly in-situ fields of surface winds (the ‘FSU Winds’) for the tropical Pacific and Indian Oceans. We are developing a much higher quality product for air-sea interaction (fluxes of heat, moisture and momentum) that also uses satellite data. Our long-term monthly fields are available in time for monthly updated El Nino – Southern Oscillation (ENSO) forecasts, within eight days after the end of the month. The flux-related variables are useful for forcing ocean models, testing the realism of atmosphere and ocean prediction models that link the ocean and the atmosphere (which is important for longer weather forecasts and seasonal to interannual forecasts for variability like ENSO), and for understanding some aspects of climate related variability.
The FSU activity is motivated by a need to better understand interactions between the ocean and atmosphere on daily to interdecadal time scales, and on spatial scales from ocean basin wide phenomena like ENSO to small scale processes related to sea surface temperature fronts and surface current gradients. Air-sea exchanges (fluxes) are sensitive indicators of changes regional climate and weather patterns, with links to floods and droughts and East Coast storm intensity and storm tracks. On smaller spatial and temporal scales they can be related to the storm surge and tropical storm intensity. On longer temporal scales, several well-known natural climate variations have been identified as having direct impact on the U.S. economy and its citizens. For example, changes in the pattern of winds over the South Eastern United States change the amount of rain that falls in each region, and modifies the strength of the land sea breeze (which accounts for 40% of the precipitation in North Florida). Improved predictions of ENSO phase and associated impact on regional weather patterns could be extremely useful to the agricultural community.

NOAA scientists are shown here deploying an ocean drifter from the back of a ship. NOAA’s Global Drifter Program (GDP) maintains an array of over 1,000 drifting buoys that measure air pressure over the ocean and send these data to satellites passing overhead, which then transmit the data within an hour to the forecasters. Drifters are deployed by national and international partners of the GDP, coordinated by the GDP’s Drifter Operations Center at NOAA’s Atlantic Oceanographic & Meteorological Laboratory (AOML). The data are then processed and quality controlled at the GDP’s Data Assembly Center, also located at AOML.
