The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a $677,466 Cooperative Agreement under the Climate and Atmospheric Research program (CFDA 11.431) to the Snoqualmie Indian Tribe (the Tribe) to characterize water needs, assess drought vulnerability, and develop drought mitigation strategies for the Snoqualmie watershed. The project aims to leverage Traditional Ecological Knowledge and scientific analysis to identify optimal drought indicators, evaluate the linkage between...
This $154,138 Cooperative Agreement award is funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under their Climate and Atmospheric Research program (CFDA 11.431). The project aims to evaluate and improve the modeling of sub-grid scale space-time patterns of land surface temperature within the GFDL land model, with the goal of enhancing NOAA's capability to predict drought, heat, and floods for local stakeholders. The key products and services to be delivered include: 1)...
This $486,990.00 Cooperative Agreement was awarded by the Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Climate and Atmospheric Research (CFDA 11.431) federal grant program. The project aims to co-develop a transferable decision framework that communities can use to assess a broad set of outcomes regarding flood adaptation choices, such as grey and green infrastructure, building retrofits, and relocation. This effort brings together expertise from two...
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a $159,935 Cooperative Agreement under the Climate and Atmospheric Research program (CFDA 11.431) to Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) to advance forecast-informed reservoir operation and planning in the West Gulf region. The project aims to enhance the National Weather Service's Hydrologic Ensemble Forecast Service (HEFS) by integrating dynamic climate model forecasts and developing improved forecasts of water use, releases,...
This Cooperative Agreement award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Climate and Atmospheric Research (CFDA 11.431) federal grant program provides $900,000 in funding to Florida International University to develop authoritative climate projection services and decision-support tools.
