national forecast chart u s climate resilience toolkit

View current conditions and short- to medium-range (1-7 days) forecasts for precipitation, temperature, wind, and clouds. These forecasts often identify potential hazards such as heavy precipitation three or more days in advance. The USDA Climate Hubs, in partnership with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and Department of Interior (DOI), are supporting regional climate resilience through the Climate Resilience Toolkit. The Toolkit is a website that offers a portfolio of information and climate tools from across the U.S. Federal Government in one easy-to-use location. With hundreds of tools in its library, the Toolkit offers a wide range of resources ranging from digital climate tools, climate summaries, and regional case studies, to a directory of training courses and subject...

The Toolkit is designed to support decision makers such as land managers, public health officials, and emergency responders with regional adaptation and climate mitigation efforts. $( document ).ready(function() { $('.feature').hide(); $('.one-third-first').show(); $('.one-third-first img').css({ 'width': '935px' }); $('.one-third-first img').css('border', '0px'); /* vote.gov */ //$( ".div-half" ).eq(0).append( '<br><a href="https://vote.gov">Vote.gov</a>' ); /* Addition of button on top/left hand part of weather.gov is... //$( "div.five-sixth-last" ).append('**<em>Our web pages are undergoing maintenance, which may result in the display of old data.

Short range forecast products depicting pressure patterns, circulation centers and fronts, and types and extent of precipitation. Medium range forecast products depicting pressure patterns and circulation centers and fronts NOAA National Weather Service's Climate Prediction Center (CPC), National Environmental Modeling and Analysis Center (NEMAC) Individuals, businesses, and communities of all sizes can use the Climate Explorer to understand how climate conditions in their locations are projected to change over coming decades. This information—derived from global climate models—can help people assess potential exposure, vulnerability, and risk to their assets. Built to accompany the U.S.

Climate Resilience Toolkit, the Climate Explorer offers graphs and maps of observed and projected temperature, precipitation, and related climate variables for every county in the contiguous United States. Additionally, the tool now offers hindcasts and projections for Alaskan boroughs. The tool also displays historical observations of temperature, precipitation, and related variables from 1950 to 2013 for the contiguous United States. Observations are averages calculated from quality-checked ground-based weather stations across the country. Users can compare graphs of observed conditions to climate model simulations (hindcasts, or projections generated for the past) for the same period. Comparing the range of observations to the simulations can provide insights on the models' collective ability to predict the future for the given variable in a given county.

For temperature-related variables, the range of observations are generally within the envelope of simulations (hindcasts). For some variables—especially precipitation-related variables—comparing observations with hindcasts reveals limitations of the models.

Shu Sun University of Oklahoma Gibbs College of Architecture A drought is a deficiency of precipitation over an extended period of time resulting in a water shortage. Drought conditions range from dry weather patterns and low water supply to impacts on crops, ecosystems, and disruptions in supply and demand for various commodities.

Air quality reflects the abundance of pollution present in air. Pollution is a mix of hazardous substances from both human-made and natural sources. Primary sources of human-made air pollution include vehicle emissions, fuel oils and natural gas to heat homes, by-products of manufacturing and power generation—particularly coal-fueled power plants—and fumes from chemical production. A heat wave is a period of abnormally and uncomfortably hot and unusually humid weather, typically lasting two or more days with temperatures above the historical averages for a given area. Coastal flooding occurs when water inundates or covers normally dry coastal land as a result of high or rising tides or storm surges. The Climate Explorer gives users a way to check how climate conditions in the United States are projected to change over the coming decades.

This information—derived from global climate models—is available for counties and county-equivalents for all 50 states and U.S. territories in the United States. Built to accompany the U.S. Climate Resilience Toolkit, Climate Explorer graphs projections for two possible futures: one in which humans drastically reduce and stabilize global emissions of heat-trapping gases (labeled Lower emissions, also known as RCP4.5), and one in... Note that only higher emissions projections are available for Alaska. Decision makers can check climate projections based on these two plausible futures and then plan according to their tolerance for risk and the timeframe of their decisions.
