Climate experts from NOAA and NASA will provide a recap and ranking of the global temperature for 2023 from both NOAA and NASA, the significant global weather and climate events from last year, and a review of the ocean heat content and sea ice. Immediately after the briefing, NOAA and NASA experts will be available for questions from the media.
WHEN
Friday, January 12, 11:00 a.m. - Noon ET (USA)
WHAT
A media webinar featuring opening remarks from the chief scientists of NOAA and NASA, followed by a detailed review of the 2023 global climate analysis.
WHO
- Sarah Kapnick, Ph.D., NOAA Chief Scientist
- Katherine Calvin, Ph.D., NASA Chief Scientist
- Russell Vose, Ph.D., Chief of Climate Monitoring and Assessment, NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information
- Gavin Schmidt, Ph.D., Director, NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies
HOW
The media can register for the briefing at any time using this link offsite link.
NOAA and NASA collect and analyze the world's temperature data and independently produce a record of Earth's surface temperatures, as well as changes based on historical observations. Consistency between the two independent analyses, and analyses produced by other countries, increases confidence in the accuracy and assessment of the data and resulting conclusions. These analyses provide government and business leaders with critical decision-making information.
