Mission
The mission of CICS is to advance climate science through collaborative research, focusing on understanding and predicting climate variability and change. It aims to provide actionable science to support decision-making in climate-sensitive sectors.
Services

Climate Research; Data Analysis; Model Development

Regulations

The Cooperative Institute for Climate Science (CICS) fosters research collaborations between the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)/Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) and the Princeton University.

It is one of 16 NOAA Cooperative Institutes (CIs).[1]

It focused on advancing the science of climate through research and education. CICS works on climate prediction, modeling, and impact studies to support both scientific understanding and policy-making.

Research

The CICS research themes are:

Mission

CICS's mission is to foster research collaborations that enhance our understanding of climate dynamics, improve climate predictions, and address the impacts of climate variability and change. By working closely with NOAA's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL), CICS seeks to translate research into practical applications for environmental management, policy, and public education[2].

Parent organization

CICS operates as a partnership between NOAA and Princeton University, with NOAA providing the scientific oversight and funding, and Princeton contributing through its academic resources and faculty expertise[3][4].

Legislation

CICS was not established through specific legislation but rather through a cooperative agreement between NOAA and Princeton University.

Partners

  • NOAA's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) for climate modeling and research.
  • Other academic and research institutions for collaborative climate studies.

Number of employees

The exact number of employees or research associates within CICS is not specified in the references provided.

Organization structure

CICS's structure supports its research focus:

Leader

A Director leads CICS, coordinating research activities and partnerships.

Divisions

  • Climate Modeling for developing and refining climate models.
  • Observations and Data Analysis for interpreting climate data.
  • Impact Studies for assessing climate change effects on various sectors.

List of programs

  • Climate Prediction for enhancing forecasting capabilities.
  • Carbon Cycle Research to understand climate-carbon interactions.
  • Climate Variability and Change for studying long-term trends.

Last total enacted budget

Specific budget details for CICS are not publicly available from the references provided.

Staff

CICS involves a mix of NOAA scientists, Princeton faculty, postdoctoral researchers, and students, but exact numbers are not documented.

Funding

Funding for CICS comes primarily from NOAA, supplemented by research grants, academic funding from Princeton, and potentially other collaborative research funds.

Services provided

CICS provides research services in climate science, including the development of climate models, analysis of climate data, and studies on climate impacts. It also engages in educational activities, training students, and disseminating climate science knowledge to policymakers and the public[5].

Regulations overseen

As a research institute, CICS does not oversee regulations but operates within the research guidelines provided by NOAA and academic standards of Princeton University.

Headquarters address

201 Forrestal Rd, Princeton, NJ 08540, USA

History

CICS was established to leverage the strengths of both NOAA's GFDL and Princeton University in climate research. It has been instrumental in advancing climate science, particularly in areas like climate modeling, prediction, and understanding the broader implications of climate change since its inception[6].
