Year of Tropical Convection website redesign 

The Year of Tropical Convection (YOTC) website has been redesigned and is now called yotc.ucar.edu

It contains some new parts for example the YOTC related projects which will hopefully be of use to the community. The old website address (www.ucar.edu/yotc) will automatically redirect you to the new site.

Ocean Modelling CORE-II Special Issue 

Coordinated Ocean-ice Reference Experiments (COREs) were proposed by the WCRP/CLIVAR Working Group on Ocean Model Development (WGOMD) as a venue for comparing global ocean-sea ice models run under a common prescribed atmospheric state, with boundary fluxes computed via the same bulk formulae. CORE simulations complement the coupled climate and earth system models run for the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP). Efforts across a broad community of modelling groups have produced CORE simulations (CORE-II) using 60 years (1948–2007) of inter-annual forcing, with details of the protocol and participating groups available from the WGOMD web site: http://www.clivar.org/wgomd/core/core-2
