During the conference, the Executive Summary of the IndOOS Decadal Review has been distributed by IORP with support of the ICPO, and a poster...
On 5-6 September 2019, the ICPO staff participated in the East Asia Marine Environment Cooperation Forum and Workshop on UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable development, sponsored by Qingdao Municipal People’s Government and IOC Sub-Commission for the Western Pacific (IOC-WESTPAC), and organised by First Institute of Oceanography, Ministry of Natural...
The OceanObs' 19 will be held on September 16-20, 2019 at Honolulu, Hawaii, USA. OceanObs’19 seeks to improve response to scientific and societal needs of a fit-for-purpose integrated ocean observing system, for better understanding the environment of the Earth, monitoring climate, and informing adaptation strategies as well as the sustainable use of ocean resources....
Figure Observational ocean heat content changes for the upper 2000 m from in situ observations in Domingues et al. (2008), Cheng et al. (2017), and Ishii et al. (2017), compared with the ensemble means of the CMIP5 models for historical simulations pre-2005 and projections after 2005. Model calculations performed for emissions projections RCP2.6,...
CLIVAR (http://www.clivar.org/) is a Core Project of the World Climate Research Progamme (http://www.wcrp-climate.org/) dedicated to understanding the role of the oceans in the variability, predictability and change of climate. Each of the Core Projects has an International Project Office that acts as an extension...
The significant role of the Southern Ocean on the Earth System has been realized and caused for global concern. For the Over the last decade, the Southern Ocean Observing System (SOOS) has established networks for enhancing regional coordination and research community groups to advance development of observing system capabilities and achieved wonderful outcome...

A workshop was held in December 2018 (pre-AGU) focused on estimating freshwater fluxes from the Greenland Ice Sheet. It was sponsored by the National Science Foundation, and co-hosted by CLIVAR and CliC projects OMDP, NORP, and ISMIP6. The workshop had ~40 international participants from a variety of disciplines (oceanography, glaciology,...
Under the auspices of the WCRP Climate Science Week at the AGU Fall Meeting 2019, this Joint Early Career Researcher Workshop will bring together students and early career researchers to discuss a joint perspective on the water cycle and governance under climate change. Applications to attend the...
Hosted by ICTP, the 4th Session of CLIVAR Eastern Boundary Upwelling Systems Research Foci (EBUS RF) met on 20-21 July 2019 in Trieste, Italy, right after the ICTP-CLIVAR Summer School on Oceanic Eastern Boundary Upwelling Systems, which took place from 15 to 19 July 2019.
The meeting specially focused on the...
Eastern Boundary Upwelling Systems (EBUS) are areas of important biological productivity and high fluxes of energy and matter between the atmosphere and ocean. However, their future under intense anthropogenic pressure is uncertain. Improved observations and theoretical understanding of the main physical and biogeochemical processes that link planetary and basin...
Figure 2: Multiple concepts of high-end sea-level. The x-axis is the amount of sea-level rise for a given time-interval. In the vertical the figure displays the probability density. The blue curve represents a combined pdf for all possible emission scenarios. The grey and red building blocks have to be added to the RCP curves depending...
