The 4th Session of CLIVAR Eastern Boundary Upwelling Systems Research Foci (EBUS RF) met on 20-21 July 2019 in Trieste, Italy. The meeting specially focused on the brainstorming and discussion of the EBUS perspective paper, as well as the future cooperations with SCOR WG-155.

The ICTP-CLIVAR Summer School on Oceanic Eastern Boundary Upwelling Systems took place from 15 to 19 July 2019 in Trieste, Italy. The research school aimed at stimulating discussion and new ideas concerning the mechanisms that influence the responses of EBUSs to climate variability and change. 

Because of the existing confusion about multiple perspectives on high-end scenarios, there needs to be a reconciliation of those perspectives by integrating the best scientific information and guidance to provide consensus on actionable science. 

The Agreement on hosting of the International CLIVAR Project Office (ICPO) has been signed between FIO and WCRP on July 11, 2019. According to the agreement, FIO will continue to host ICPO from July 2019 to June 2024 in Qingdao, China.

This session highlights water cycle research that describes the linkages between the ocean, atmosphere, and land hydrology. The abstract submission deadline coming up soon, Wednesday 31st July 2019.
