The proposed NOAA budget gutting would also eliminate the Climate Adaptation Program (CAP). The Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy, the org I work for, is the CAP for Alaska has been working for Alaskans since 2006.

US Weather Analysis for 27 States Goes Dark in Funding Lapse

(Bloomberg) -- Weather analysis tools used by a wide array of businesses and government entities across the US have gone dark after funding for long-running regional climate hubs lapsed.

The websites for four US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration regional centers serving 27 states across the central and southern US — including Texas, Florida, Ohio, the Dakotas and the Carolinas — are no longer accessible, according to service notifications posted on the centers’ home pages. #NWS #NOAA #weather

'April 17, 2025: Solide Seamount

Today’s dive will take place on a southwestern ridge on Solide Seamount. The ridge borders a steep wall that likely formed by slumping of the guyot’s cap carbonates. The goal of this dive is to investigate the biological and habitat diversity of ridge arms below the guyot summit and characterize the habitat transitions along this feature...'

"...eather analysis tools used by a wide array of businesses and government entities across the US have gone dark after funding for long-running regional climate hubs lapsed.

The websites for three US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration regional centers serving 21 states across the central and southeastern US — including the Dakotas, the Carolinas, Alabama and Georgia — have gone dark, according to service notifications posted on the centers’ home pages. The Southern Regional Climate Center, which serves Texas and Louisiana, among other states, has also lost funding, director John Neilsen-Gammon said in an interview Thursday...."

Stand Up for NOAA Research — The Time to Act Is Now

April 17, 2025

A Statement of the American Meteorological Society in Partnership with the National Weather Association

The administration’s 2026 budget passback plan, currently under consideration, eliminates NOAA’s Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) Office and its 10 research laboratories and 16 affiliated Cooperative Institutes, and moves the few remaining research efforts to different NOAA departments. If enacted, the passback would close all of NOAA’s weather, climate, and ocean Laboratories and Cooperative Institutes.

The speed at which these decisions are being made translates into little to no opportunity for feedback or consideration of long-term impacts. Without NOAA research, National Weather Service (NWS) weather models and products will stagnate, observational data collection will be reduced, public outreach will decrease, undergraduate and graduate student support will drop, and NOAA funding for universities will plummet. In effect, the scientific backbone and workforce needed to keep weather forecasts, alerts, and warnings accurate and effective will be drastically undercut, with unknown — yet almost certainly disastrous — consequences for public safety and economic health. As key stakeholders, AMS and NWA stand ready to provide our expertise so that the U.S. can maintain its competitiveness in the years ahead.

High Plains Regional Climate Center has gone dark

Funding for the Regional Climate Center program lapsed on April 17, 2025 due to a suspension of federal funding from NOAA through the Department of Commerce. It is unknown if or when funding will resume. All data and services offered under the HPRCC contract, including this website, are unavailable.

‪Geologist Jenna C. Hill‬ on Blue Sky:

NOAA just announced a long list of datasets that are going away: www.nesdis.noaa.gov/about/docume...
Download what you need asap and send comments to: ncei.info@noaa.gov

Ein Plädoyer für alle ForscherInnen und die #Wissenschaft in #Deutschland (und weltweit) sowie #EineGuteNachricht trotz bedenklicher Entwicklungen in den #USA:

"Wegen der Umstrukturierungen in US-Behörden, die zentrale Plattformen für Umwelt- und Klimadaten bereitstellen, sind Datenbestände gefährdet. Deutsche Einrichtungen engagieren sich für ihre Rettung.
...
Das bestätigte das Alfred-Wegener-Institut, Helmholtz-Zentrum für Polar- und Meeresforschung (AWI) in Bremerhaven MDR Investigativ."

und

"Die Daten der NOAA dienen beispielsweise auch einem besseren Verständnis von El Niño/La Niña-Ereignissen, von Tornados, Hurrikanen oder der Ausbreitung von Luftschadstoffen." Wenn solche Daten dauerhaft fehlten, würden Frühwarnsysteme, Küstenschutzmaßnahmen und internationale Klimamodelle an Präzision verlieren, warnt Koch. ..."
