State of the Climate in 2023: The Tropics

August 22, 2024

ARL Atmospheric Sciences and Modeling Division Director Dr. Howard Diamond was lead author on this year’s State of the Climate Tropics Chapter published by the American Meteorological Society.

This annual publication is compiled by NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information and is based on contributions from over 600 scientists from around the world. It provides a detailed update on global climate indicators, notable weather events, and other data collected by environmental monitoring stations and instruments located on land, water, ice, and in space. This is the 34th issuance of the annual assessment now known as State of the Climate, published in the Bulletin since 1996. As a supplement to the Bulletin, its foremost function is to document the status and trajectory of many components of the climate system. However, as a series, the report also documents the status and trajectory of our capacity and commitment to observe the climate system. The full report link can be found here and the Tropics Chapter link can be found here.
