Subject: [Cometupdates] New from COMET: 3 Short Climate Modules
To: announce at comet.ucar.edu


The COMET Program is pleased to announce the publication of three short
modules relating to the impacts of climate change:

   1. "Climate Change and Regional
Impacts<https://www.meted.ucar.edu/training_module.php?id=972%3E>":
   An overview of the different effects climate change has produced in
   different regions of the United States. In addition, the module presents
   information on how climate scientists use specialized models and
   statistical techniques to estimate how regional climates are likely to
   change in the future and what those projections currently are.
   2. "Climate Change and Extreme
Weather<https://www.meted.ucar.edu/training_module.php?id=973>":
   Discusses how a changing climate can also lead to changes in local extreme
   weather events. The role of natural variability is also explained, and the
   module discusses what changes scientists think are likely if greenhouse gas
   emissions continue to rise.
   3. "Climate Change and Sea Level
Rise<https://www.meted.ucar.edu/training_module.php?id=974>":
   Looks at how increasing temperatures due to climate change have affected
   sea level rise and what effects scientist expect in the future, given
   rising greenhouse gas emissions. The various mechanisms of sea level rise
   are discussed, as well as the tools and research used to study this topic.
   The module also discusses how countries and communities are preparing for
   future increases.

The modules should  be of particular interest to broadcast meteorologists,
although operational forecasters and the general public interested in
climate change will also find them useful.
