6 NOAA Strategic Plan Climate is one of four major goals: Understand Climate Variability and Change to Enhance Society’s Ability to Plan and Respond Achieved by: Investing in needed climate quality observations and encouraging other national and international investments. Working with national and international partners to increase understanding of the dynamics and impacts of coupled atmosphere/ocean/land systems. Improving its intraseasonal to interannual climate forecasts to enable regional and national managers to plan better for the impacts of climate variability. Providing improved regional, national, and international assessments and projections of climate change to support policy decisions with objective information. Working with users of climate information to enable and increase the application of climate information.

7 Base Program Summary Monitor and Observe Strategy - $202.6M Collection, archival, quality control, and dissemination of most of the Nation’s climate observations In Situ Atmospheric Observation Satellite Programs Data Management Stewardship National and International leadership in the development of a global ocean climate observing system In Situ Ocean Observation Collection, archival, quality control, and dissemination of most of the Nation’s climate observations In Situ Atmospheric Observation Satellite Programs Data Management Stewardship National and International leadership in the development of a global ocean climate observing system In Situ Ocean Observation

8 Base Program Summary Understand and Describe Strategy- $108.3M Research based on observations, laboratory and field studies, and modeling for: Understanding the processes that influence climate variability Characterizing the composition of the atmosphere, as it relates to radiative forcing of the climate system and the ozone layer Characterizing the carbon cycle processes that determine the fate of carbon emissions Research based on observations, laboratory and field studies, and modeling for: Understanding the processes that influence climate variability Characterizing the composition of the atmosphere, as it relates to radiative forcing of the climate system and the ozone layer Characterizing the carbon cycle processes that determine the fate of carbon emissions

9 An incipient capability for routine seasonal climate forecasts out to a year in advance. Routine predictions for the U.S. for 6-10 days, 8-14 days, and monthly. Seasonal hurricane forecasts. Leadership in a program of climate assessments on national and global scales with participation in: Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Assessments; U.S. National Assessment; U.N. Montreal Protocol Ozone Assessments. Planned ecosystem assessment and forecasting An incipient capability for routine seasonal climate forecasts out to a year in advance.

12 Short Term Management Goals 1.Develop Climate Services Program Management Plan –Define roles and responsibilities –Document decision mechanisms, program evaluation plans, etc. 2.Develop NOAA Climate Services Program Plan to complement NOAA Strategic Plan and CCSP –Define multi-year program plans –Implement recommendation for 50% of new research funds to extramural community 3.Conduct NOAA Climate Review April 1-3 –Climate and Global Change WG with Council on Long- Term Climate Monitoring representation 1.Develop Climate Services Program Management Plan –Define roles and responsibilities –Document decision mechanisms, program evaluation plans, etc. 2.Develop NOAA Climate Services Program Plan to complement NOAA Strategic Plan and CCSP –Define multi-year program plans –Implement recommendation for 50% of new research funds to extramural community 3.Conduct NOAA Climate Review April 1-3 –Climate and Global Change WG with Council on Long- Term Climate Monitoring representation

13 Responding to CCSP and the Workshop Climate Change Science Workshop Dec. 3-5 NRC Review, ~900 Pages of comments Some NRC recommendations of interest to NOAA - Develop closer ties with Climate Change Technology Initiative - Develop integrated“climate quality” observing system - Strengthen decision support capability - Combine global-scale research with local information to produce regional products Climate Change Science Workshop Dec. 3-5 NRC Review, ~900 Pages of comments Some NRC recommendations of interest to NOAA - Develop closer ties with Climate Change Technology Initiative - Develop integrated“climate quality” observing system - Strengthen decision support capability - Combine global-scale research with local information to produce regional products
