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):
