The Drought Interest Group, an activity set up under the WCRP Extremes Cross-cut, have designed a questionnaire to assess the regional needs for a Global Drought Early Warning System (GDEWS).
CLIVAR is the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) project that addresses Climate Variability and Predictability, with a particular focus on the role of ocean-atmosphere interactions in climate. It works closely with its companion WCRP projects on issues such as the role of the land surface, snow and ice and the role of stratospheric processes in climate.
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.
The CLIVAR/PAGES intersection is looking for nominations from scientists across the CLIVAR and PAGES communities who are interested in fostering cross-cutting initiatives that involve the use of paleo-climate data in extending and contextualising modern observations, using CLIVAR-related insights and understanding to inform the interpretation of past climate data, and/or helping link modelling of past, present and future.
The report summarizes and evaluates information on the past and recent climate variability and change observed in the Iberian Peninsula, as well as on the regional climate projections for the end of the century. As the main outcome of the workshop held in Madrid in February 2009, the report was officially presented in Madrid on 12 April 2010 by the Spanish Secretary of State for Climate Change. The report, available in Spanish, will be soon translated in English.
A survey of participation in CMIP5 decadal simulations and the Climate System Historical Forecast Project (CHFP) has been prepared by G.J. Boer, B. Kirtman, and A. Scaife (WGSIP) and G. Meehl and S. Bony (WGCM). Please respond to Anna Pirani (anna.pirani@noc.soton.ac.uk) by September 24 simply indicating your interest in this project by providing some essential information.
