Nov 05, 2009 - GFDL Scientist Making a “Green” Difference
Oceanographer Whit Anderson is a recipient of the 2009 NOAA Green Steward Award. As a dedicated cycling enthusiast, Whit is among many GFDL employees who commute to work by bicycle regularly. The award recognizes Whit for his efforts to have bicycle lockers installed at GFDL, to accommodate the growing number of bike commuters, and encouraging others to do so. 2009 is the inaugural year for this award. NOAA strives to recognize and reward employees who initiate “best green practices”, to encourage personal actions for a cleaner, healthier planet and lifestyle.
Nov 05, 2009 - GFDL Hosts Global Interoperability Program
Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory will host the inaugural meeting of NOAA's Global Interoperability Program (GIP) on November 5-6, 2009. GIP promotes coordination of software infrastructure development that makes possible U.S. and international programs in climate and weather research, operational forecasting, and assessments and impacts of environmental change. This distributed and complex infrastructure allows groups from different institutions to work together collaboratively, sharing modeling components, real-time forecasts, model and observational data, and analysis and visualization services.
Aug 11, 2009 - Increase in Atlantic Hurricane Numbers Likely Due to Improvements in Monitoring
Records of Atlantic hurricanes seem to show an increase in storm frequency since the late 19th century, but research published this week reveals that the increase in tropical storm and hurricane numbers is likely due to better observations of short-lived storms. Improvements in observational tools and analysis techniques have resulted in more complete storm monitoring and recording systems.
Jul 16, 2009 - GFDL to Host International AeroCom Workshop
Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) will host the 8th annual AeroCom Workshop, featuring seminars and posters related to aerosol research. The event will be held at GFDL, in Princeton, NJ, from October 5-7, 2009. AeroCom is an international initiative of scientists working to advance our understanding of global aerosol and its impact on climate.
Jun 19, 2009 - GFDL Scientists Prepare to Welcome Lab Review Team
GFDL's research programs will undergo a comprehensive external review, from June 30 to July 2, 2009. Members of the review panel will evaluate the quality, relevance and value of the lab's research to both internal and external interests.
Jun 15, 2009 - Climate and Fisheries Scientists Collaborate
The Cooperative Institute for Climate Sciences, a joint institute of GFDL and Princeton University, will sponsor a workshop "Applying IPCC-class models of Global Warming to Fisheries Prediction", to be held at Princeton University's Lewis Library from June 15-17, 2009. Key scientific topics, such as regional downscaling of climate results, will be discussed in greater detail at the workshop.
Jun 08, 2009 - GFDL Director Delivers Bert Bolin Lecture in Stockholm
GFDL's Director, Dr. V. "Ram" Ramaswamy, was invited to give the second annual Bert Bolin Lecture on Climate Research at Stockholm University. Ram's lecture, delivered on May 29, 2009, explored the significant role that pollution particulates (aerosols) from human-induced emissions have played in the evolution of the global climate in the twentieth century.
