FSU RECEIVES USDA GRANT FOR CLIMATE FORECASTING

USDA recently awarded Florida State University and five other institutions that make up the Southeast Climate Consortium $2.5 million to provide climate forecasting for the agricultural community in Florida, Georgia and Alabama.

The grant was awarded to FSU, which will distribute the funds among the members of the consortium.

The two-year grant, which begins in July, continues work begun in 2003 and will help fund salaries for researchers and graduate students at FSU and the other universities.

At FSU, the research is conducted at the Center For Ocean Atmospheric Prediction Studies. COAPS conducts research in climate modeling, ocean modeling, quality control of weather data from ships, satellite oceanography and short-term climate forecasting.
