  1. OVERVIEW OF CLIMATE SERVICES and CLIMATE DATA RECORDS By Jeffrey Privette NOAA NCDC and L. DeWayne Cecil Global Science and Technology Asheville, NC March 21, 2012

  2. National Climate InitiativesAlready Underway • Interagency Task Force • White House OSTP and CEQ, NOAA, others • US Global Change Research Program • 2009 (and 2013) National Assessments • National Academy of Public Administration (NAPA) Study • Endorsed NOAA’s climate service vision

  3. 5 CS Initial Priorities (1) Climate Impacts on Water Resources: Provide coordinated and authorization information to guide water resources managers Example User Groups: water resource managers, civil engineers, farmers, emergency management officials, USBR, USDA, USACE (2) Coasts and Climate Resilience:Understand physical processes that drive sea-level rise and coastal inundation, and provide the best available information to decision-makers Example User Groups: coastal and emergency managers, NOS, FEMA, USACE, USGS, HUD, MSP (3) Sustainability of Marine Ecosystems: Improve understanding of, and information about, the impacts of climate on ocean properties critical to managing large marine ecosystems Example User Groups: NMFS, states, NOS, FWS,USBR, fisheries management councils

  4. 5 CS Initial Priorities-cont. (4) Extremes in a Changing Climate: Develop and deliver information to anticipate, prepare for, and adapt to weather and climate extremes Example User Groups: emergency managers, state and local officials, energy industry, resource managers, city planners, insurance industry Most important 3 factors, scale, scale, scale,,,adaptation to climate variability and change is local (5) Informing Climate Policy Options: Provide sound science to information climate-related policies, plans, and strategies including both mitigation and adaptation Example User Groups: policy makers, energy industry, EPA, DOE, state and local communities, State Dept.

  7. Predecisional: not for distribution or attribution

  8. Understanding Earth’s Connections Requires a Comprehensive Set of Measurements Across the Globe  Satellites data meets the need

  9. Calibrating Satellites to Field DataSuomi NPP VIIRS Land Surface Temperature (LST) and Climate Reference Network (CRN) Bondville, IL NPP Scene VIIRS LST accuracy ≈ ±0.3K precision ≈ 1.9K VIIRS LST – Feb 12, 2012 within a VIIRS pixel at 750m resolution Scaling NOAACRN Station

  10. Value: CDRs Inform DecisionsThroughout Society Example: Recent collaboration between NOAA, NASA, Academia, Private Sector and NREL Raw Observations Fundamental CDRs (Calibrate Data) Thematic CDRs (Geophysical Data) Climate Information(Derived Goods & Services) NOAA & NASAraw satellite data Merged and correctedNOAA & NASA data provide trustworthymulti-decadal time series Standards of the renewable energy community applied Siting information for major solar energy farms NREL= National Renewable Energy Laboratory

  11. Accomplishments – Regional Climate Services Directors

  12. NCS Next Steps • Develop business practices that strengthen science while meeting demand for services • Engage external and internal audiences regarding NOAA’s climate services plans • Continued evolution of the NOAA Climate Portal (www.climate.gov)
