Two publications have been recently published by US CLIVAR: 1) Assessing Meridional Overturning Circulation Variability; and 2) Understanding the Dynamic Response of Greenland's Marine Terminating Glaciers to Oceanic and Atmospheric Forcing.
The World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) Drought Interest Group (DIG), together with CLIVAR, GEWEX, GEO, the European Space Agency (ESA), NASA, NSF, and NIDIS, sponsored a WCRP Global Drought Information System (GDIS) workshop in Frascati, Italy, in April 2012, focused on determining the needs and the steps necessary for the development of a GDIS.
From 11 to 13 April 2012, the WCRP workshop on developing a Global Drought Information System (GDIS) took place on the premises of ESA-ESRIN in Frascati, Italy. This workshop focused on the steps necessary to develop a GDIS that builds upon the extensive world-wide investments that have already been made in developing drought monitoring, drought risk management, and short term climate prediction capabilities. The Global scientific and end-user communities found a place to meet and listen to each other´s stories. The workshop presentations can be found on the workshop webpages.
Martin Visbeck, CLIVAR SSG co-chair, kicked off the evening event with a brief overview of CLIVAR objectives and organisation. He emphasised that international CLIVAR focused on problems that require international coordination or cooperation and outlined how CLIVAR fits into the bigger scheme of WCRP and the other international Global Change programmes.
The 4th World Climate Research Programme International Conference on Reanalyses provides an exciting opportunity for the modeling community to review and discuss the major observations and modeling research associated with reanalyses.
CLIVAR is the World Climate Research Programme project that addresses Climate Variability and Predictability, with a particular focus on the role of ocean-atmosphere interactions in climate. International CLIVAR seeks to identify major emerging climate science questions and to facilitate international coordination, cooperation and capacity building to address these issues. CLIVAR of the future will be more cross-disciplinary and will need to build the application of CLIVAR/ocean science to societal needs.
Climate scientists from Macquarie University, the University of Melbourne and Monash University have joined forces and come up with a unique way to raise awareness about climate change and the benefits of moving towards a low carbon future.
We are putting our computers to work even harder here at the ICPO. We created a team called (guess what?) CLIVAR and all the staff joined it to help climateprediciton.net in the experiment to try and produce a forecast of the climate in the 21st century.
The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Climate Center (APCC) located in Busan, Republic of Korea, invites proposals to conduct an international research project on the development of a validated multi-model ensemble seasonal and sub-seasonal prediction system. The project budget is approximately US$150Kand the proposal due-date is 30 April 2006. The project announcement can be found on the APCC website
