NOAA: Agency filed inaccurate data in climate report
2013-12-13 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Greenwire: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration provided inaccurate data to the Commerce Department -- and ultimately the White House -- on its energy use and greenhouse gas emissions, according to Commerce's inspector general. The criticism came in a letter from IG Todd Zinser to the Bicameral Task Force on Climate Change. The panel, which has six co-chairmen including Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), had requested an assessment of whether Commerce is "doing...

NASA shares satellite and climate data on Amazons cloud
2013-11-13 09:26:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Ars Technica: NASA has announced a partnership with Amazon Web Services that the agency hopes will spark wider collaboration on climate research. In an effort that is in some ways parallel to Google's Earth Engine, NASA has uploaded terabytes of data to Amazon's public cloud and made it available to the anyone. Three data sets are already up at Amazon. The first is climate change forecast data for the continental United States from NASA Earth Exchange (NEX) climate simulations, scaled down to make them usable...

Ancient Climate Data Entombed in Plankton Shells
2013-10-26 17:33:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: New research suggests a record of ancient climate change is embedded in magnesium deposits present in ancient plankton shells. With further research, scientists may be able to use these ancient plankton shells to establish climate variability in Earth's far distant past, as well as provide new methods of measuring ocean acidification and salinity in past oceans. The research, published in the journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters, reveals new insights on the state of the climate hundreds...
