4th CLIVAR Workshop on the Evaluation of ENSO in Climate Models: ENSO in a changing climate
Submitted by Lei Han on Mon, 2015-01-26 04:47The El Niño – Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is the dominant mode of interannual climate variability on Earth, with worldwide impacts. Because ENSO involves a complex interplay of ocean and atmospheric processes, accurately modelling this climate phenomenon with coupled General Circulation Models (GCMs), and understanding and anticipating its behaviour in a warming climate, still pose major challenges.
US National Academies releases decadal survey of ocean sciences
Submitted by Nico on Mon, 2015-01-26 02:26
Eight science priorities have been identified by the National Academy of Sciences “to identify areas of strategic investment with the highest potential payoff” for the next decade. Such priorities include sea level rise, processes that contribute to climate variability, and the role of biodiversity, to name a few. Ultimately these priorities have broad societal relevance and will help shape investments in ocean-related infrastructure. Further details at http://nas-sites.org/dsos2015/

Submitted by LinaKang on Sun, 2015-01-25 10:58
An open letter from a group of climate scientists ask for an end to the rainbow colour scale in climate science. The scientists, including NCAS's Ed Hawkins petitions the climate science community in a "A plea to you all to help rid climate science of colour scales that can distort, mislead and confuse. Colour scales that are often illegible to those who are colour blind."
