ESSIC/CISESS Scientists Contribute to the 2024 State of the Climate Report

The annual State of the Climate Special Supplement published by the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society is based on contributions from 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. Several ESSIC/CISESS Scientists have contributed to the latest State of the Climate report, namely (in bold):
