• Abstract:
  This memorandum focuses on the use of climate information when performing a vulnerability assessment, a topic that was discussed at the Newark Pilot Peer Exchange Workshop on May 4-5, 2011. The memorandum describes several sources of climate information, and provides some recommendations on how this information can be used by the pilots (or other transportation planners) as they consider their climate-related risks. The memorandum is organized into three sections: -- Information about Historical Climate --Information about Future Climate --Sources of Technical Assistance The memorandum also has an Appendix which outlines some of the methods being employed by pilots to estimate the impacts of sea-level rise.
