Cooperative Institute for Climate Science: Difference between revisions

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<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.noaa.gov/ |title=National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration |publisher=NOAA |access-date=January 27, 2025}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.princeton.edu/ |title=Princeton University |publisher=Princeton University |access-date=January 27, 2025}}</ref>.

* NOAA's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) for climate modeling and research.

* Other academic and research institutions for collaborative climate studies.

A Director leads CICS, coordinating research activities and partnerships.

* 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.

* Climate Prediction for enhancing forecasting capabilities.

* Carbon Cycle Research to understand climate-carbon interactions.

* Climate Variability and Change for studying long-term trends.

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<ref>{{cite web |url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooperative_Institute_for_Climate_Science |title=Cooperative Institute for Climate Science * Wikipedia |access-date=January 27, 2025}}</ref>.
