Climate and Environmental Monitoring Research

The primary goal of Climate and Environmental Monitoring Research is to insure up-to-date and comprehensive real-time climate monitoring. This goal is achieved by providing analyses of recent climate anomalies, diagnoses of physical mechanisms associated with climate anomalies, and analyses that place current climate anomalies in historical context. This effort is also facilitated by the development of climate and environmental data and analysis tools and climate and vulnerability indices for use in conjunction with seasonal forecasts.   (more)
