Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP) |
Our main efforts are to estimate and make available high-resolution climate fields over spatially extensive regions, primarily from historical (weather-station) records, to help us understand and document large-scale climate patterns and climatic change. In addition, we work to improve our spatial interpolation algorithms, as well as statistical approaches to accuracy assessment.

  NASA Innovations in Climate Education (NICE)
Working with colleagues at Delaware State University (DSU) and North Carolina Central University (NCCU), as well as with NASA-funded scientists, this NASA NICE supported effort was directed toward helping prepare pre-service science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) teachers to teach our youth about global climate change, including its observation, mechanisms, impacts and amelioration strategies.

Institute of Global Environment and Society (IGES)

 

Working with colleagues at the IGES and with support from NASA, we 1) produced and distributed in-situ-based climate (P and T) data sets that better described seasonal and interannual climate variability and change (especially over the tropical regions) and 2) improved our ability to assess the accuracy and precision of estimated climate fields.

 

Water Systems Analysis Group at the University of New Hampshire (UNH)

 

Our collaborations with UNH scientists were directed toward improving hydroclimatic data sets and methodologies, as well as our understanding of seasonal and interannual hydroclimatic variability, especially over the pan-Arctic land surface.
