The ICTP-CLIVAR Summer School on Marine Heatwaves: Global Phenomena with Regional Impacts, will be organized at the Abdus Salam International Center for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), Trieste, Italy from 24- 29 July 2023 in a hybrid format. Members from various CLIVAR panels (IORP, PRP and ARP) are involved in the Organizing Committee. Lecturers of the School are...
The South Atlantic plays an important role in the climate of the adjacent continents and contributes actively to the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). Despite this, and the advance achieved since the World Ocean Current Experiment (WOCE) in the nineties, our understanding of the South Atlantic variability still lags behind that of other basins. In...
Today, we are pleased to launch the CLIVAR Atlantic Ocean Blog (AOB) (https://www.clivar.org/atlantic-blog), a blog about the Atlantic Ocean - variability, predictability and change. The AOB is a spinoff from the CLIVAR Atlantic Region Panel (...
Tropical ocean basins influence each other on seasonal and longer timescales. Variations in the Atlantic multi-decadal variability (AMV) can drive changes in the tropical Pacific and Indian Oceans via atmospheric teleconnections, even modulating global warming.
To have a systematic study on those topics, the 4th Summer School on Theory, Mechanisms and Hierarchical Modeling of Climate...
As decided by the CLIVAR SSG co-chairs, the initial part of the 28th Session of the CLIVAR SSG would be held online on two sessions. The first part was organized on the 5th...

At the beginning of 2023, the CLIVAR Scientific Steering Group (SSG) experienced several changes in its membership:
Dr Wenju Cai ended his term of CLIVAR SSG Co-chair on December 31, 2022 after serving this position for 4 years. Dr Cai will remain member of the SSG for one more year. With his co-leadership, CLIVAR successfully organized a series of activities such as the ICTP-CLIVAR...
Marine Heatwaves (MHWs) are extreme climatic events that impact all ocean basins and can persist from weeks to months and spread over hundreds to thousands of kilometers. MHWs have devastating impacts on marine habitats and ecosystems and influence regional weather systems such as the monsoons and extreme weather events like tropical cyclones. Climate change is...
