Climate Variability and Predictability (CVP) Program: TEPEX-C

Climate Variability and Predictability (CVP) Program: TEPEX-C is sponsored by NOAA Climate Program Office. Supports research on climate variability and predictability to inform decisions for climate adaptation, resilience, and mitigation.

To ensure compliance with Executive Order 14151, the Climate Program Office is excluding statements and factors related to diversity, equity,inclusion, and accessibility(DEIA) from the evaluation of proposals received under the FY25 Notices of Funding Opportunity.

Any DEI-related application components are no longer required and, for letters of intent or proposals already submitted, will be disregarded in the scoring and selection of proposals.

431, Climate and Atmospheric Research CPO’s grant programs manage a competitive process through a NOFO announcement to make awards supporting high-quality research conducted across the United States and internationally on the most urgent climate science questions.

While each program area has its own focus, together they advance understanding of Earth’s climate system through interdisciplinary, integrated scientific research, and leverage the resulting knowledge, data, and systems to enhance society’s ability to plan and respond to climate variability and climate change.

Toward this end, CPO also supports partnerships that build end-to-end pipelines of information (e.g., integrated information systems) flowing from scientists to decision-makers.

In FY25, CVP is soliciting studies focused on observing, understanding, and modeling that advance the implementation of TEPEX-C – the central focus is advancing understanding of the coupling of the troposphere, ocean mixed and barrier layers, and the processes that regulate zonal temperature gradients and generate and sustain surface jets that expand and contract the Warm Pool.

Results should guide the future development of numerical models as described in the Science Plan. This effort is in support of NOAA’s Precipitation Prediction Grand Challenge Strategy (PPGC) and the World Climate Research Program’s Global Precipitation Experiment (GPEX).
