Climate observations are of fundamental importance for reconstructing, monitoring, understanding, attributing, predicting, projecting, mitigating, and adapting to climate change. They are instrumental for assessments and policy implementations, such as the IPCC and the 2015 Paris Agreement. The need for systematic climate observations is increasing with the growing urgency for adaptation...
The CLIVAR/CliC Northern Oceans Region Panel organized its teleconference on 21 April, 2022, with the participation of NORP members and the new ex-officio members, Alexandra Jahn and Julienne Stroeve.
NORP members introduced their backgrounds so that the ex-officios had an overall view of NORP. After that, members presented the updates of NORP’s two main activities: the NORP/SORP joint...

Figure: Polar Amplification simulated by CMIP5 and CMIP6 climate models for the temperature thresholds of +1.5°C, 2.0°C and 3.0°C global mean warming under RCP8.5 and SSP585 scenarios of northern and southern hemispheres high latitudes. The boxplots indicate the central 50% intermodal range (25% - 75%), the median and upper and lower boundaries in the CMIP models....
A recent study (https://doi.org/10.1007/s00382-022-06195-3) led by Dr Luciano Pezzi, member of the CLIVAR/CliC/SCAR Southern Ocean Region Panel, was published in Climate Dynamics. This work brings a new approach to the study and understanding of the oceanic surface cooling that the oceanic South Atlantic Convergence Zone (SACZ)...
The 27th Session of the CLIVAR Scientific Steering Group (SSG) took place on April 1, 4 & 5. Given the situation of the COVID pandemic, and to reduce our carbon footprint, the SSG-27 was held in a completely online format. This year, it focused more on internal WCRP and CLIVAR business, bringing together over 40 scientists from all over the world, including the CLIVAR SSG members, co-...
