November 2008--The Board on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate issued Weather and Climate from the Ground Up: A National Network of Networks. The report calls for a more integrated and effective nationwide meteorological and chemical weather network that measures atmosphere conditions at various heights and scales. In addition to weather observations, such a system could assist in a number of other applications, including tracking the dispersion of biological and nuclear contaminants from industrial accidents; monitoring smoke from wildfires; providing high-resolution weather information for aviation and waterways, water management, and food production; and supporting regional climate monitoring. [more]Schwarzenegger Requests National Academies Study on Sea Level RiseNovember 2008--California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger issued an executive order on November 14th directing state agencies to "enhance the state's management of climate impacts from sea level rise, increased temperatures, shifting precipitation and extreme weather events." According to a state-issued press release, the order responds to "the serious threat of sea level rise to California's water supply and coastal resources and the impact it would have on our state's economy, population and natural resources." Among four key actions of the executive order is a request for the National Academy of Science establish an expert panel to report on sea level rise impacts in California to inform state planning and development efforts.
