The Future CLIVAR: Help chart the course (Town Hall)

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.

CLIVAR-Spain report on climate variability and change in the Iberian Peninsula (21 Apr 2010)

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.
