The 42nd Session of the WCRP Joint Scientific Committee meeting (JSC-42) is in progress. During the meeting, a number of important issues, including the approval of plans for the new WCRP Lighthouse Activities, and the new “Core Projects” on “Earth System...
Two-way interaction among the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Ocean basins is increasingly recognized as a key factor in understanding climate variability on seasonal to multi-decadal timescales. This session, to be convened by the CLIVAR Tropical Basin Interaction Research Focus at the 2021 AGU Fall Meeting, highlights studies that examine atmospheric and oceanic pathways linking the tropical...
The Global Ocean Biogeochemistry (GO-BGC) array is a 5-year effort funded by the US National Science Foundation to produce and deploy 500 profiling floats equipped with biogeochemical sensors in the world ocean. Deployments will begin in the first quarter of 2021. To inform and engage a broad oceanographic user community, the Ocean Carbon &...
The 7th telecon of ENSO Conceptual Model Working Group was organised on 17 June, 2021 (June 16 for some participants).
At the beginning of the telecon, Jerome Vialard, the coordinator of the working group, briefly introduced a session proposal entitled ‘El Nino in a Changing Climate’ submitted to the 2022 Ocean Science...
The third regular telecon in 2021 of CLIVAR/CliC/SCAR Southern Ocean Region Panel (SORP) was held at 6th May. Since the members of SORP are widely spread in different continents, the regular meeting has been set to alternate between two different time to accommodate every member’s time zone.
During the meeting, the progresses of the on planning...
On the occasion of celebrating the 14th World Oceans Day, the China Workshop on UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030) was held on 8th June 2021 in Qingdao China, organised by the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) and the National Natural Science Foundation (NSFC) of China, and hosted by the First Institute of...
After a 3-year endeavor, the Tropical Atlantic Observing System (TAOS) Review Report is now published online.
The report discusses an evaluation of the scientific progress since the last review (in 2006) and recommends...
Conceptual schematic showing the related processes: ocean heat transport from the upstream increases because of the warming of the Atlantic Water inflow, but ocean surface heat release in the ice-free regions decreases due to more rapid atmosphere warming. Consequently, the mixed layer depth associated with winter convection decreases in the ice-free...
Tropical Pacific Decadal Variability plays an important role in the global climate as evident from its influence on the recent slowdown of the globally-averaged surface temperature trend as well as its impacts on fisheries, onset of Spring over the western US, and other quantities relevant for society. A CLIVAR Tropical Pacific...
US CLIVAR organized the 'Tropical Pacific Observing Needs to Advance Process Understanding and Representation in Models Workshop' from May 24 to 26, 2021. The meeting was 100% virtual. Over 200 participants from more than 30 countries registered for the event. Five members from CLIVAR Pacific Region Panel (...
Building on the success of the Sea Level 2017 Meeting in New York, the World Climate Research Program (WCRP) Grand Challenge on “Regional Sea-Level Change and Coastal Impacts” will hold the Sea Level 2022 meeting on 11-15 July, 2022 in Singapore. This is three years after the IPCC Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate (SROCC) report and one year after the publication...
The CLIVAR Ocean Model Development Panel (OMDP) successfully organized a virtual meeting on 18th May 2021, the so-called OMDP-5.5 since it happened in between the fifth and sixth OMDP in-person panel meeting. All the official panel members and the emeritus/emerita members participated in this meeting.
The objective of this meeting is to review the progress of the ongoing OMDP activities...
