New research illustrates that the key to recognizing the influence of the Gulf Stream and Kuroshio Extension on the seasonal mean and longer-term climate is through a proper understanding of how the ocean influences atmospheric fronts.
Save the date! US CLIVAR is organizing The Large Ensembles Workshop, July 24-26, 2019, at the NCAR Mesa Lab in Boulder, Colorado. We seek participation of scientists across disciplines who are interested in using large initial-condition ensembles with Earth System Models to understand natural climate variability, anthropogenic climate change, and their impacts. Registration and abstract submission will open soon.
Registration is open for a workshop on Sea Level Hotspots from Florida to Maine – Drivers, Impacts, and Adaptation that will take place April 23-25, 2019, in Norfolk, Virginia. Scientists, decision makers, and coastal stakeholders interested in sea level research, planning, and adaptation are invited. Applications and abstracts are due January 11.
Help inform an external review of the effectiveness and value of US GO-SHIP operations, products, and science and how to strengthen them. Your input is invited, no matter your level of contact with US GO-SHIP, whether a casual observer and consumer of GO-SHIP data or science, a student who has gone on a cruise, a member of the Executive Committee, or anywhere in between. Survey due January 7.
The US CLIVAR Scientific Steering Committee seeks qualified individuals to serve on its three subsidiary panels beginning in 2019. Panel members formulate science goals and implementation strategies, catalyze and coordinate activities, and work with agencies and international partners to advance the progress of the climate research community. Nominations or self-nominations are due January 7, 2019.
Abstract submission and registration are now open for a workshop on Atmospheric Convection and Air-Sea Interactions of the Tropical Oceans that will take place May 7–9, 2019, in Boulder, Colorado. Abstracts are due January 7.
The US AMOC Science Team will officially sunset on December 31, 2020. Leading up to this date, the team will undertake activities to ensure the community is well-positioned to continue advancing AMOC research. Ideas and suggestion are welcome.
For the past 20 years, the US CLIVAR program has addressed some of the most pressing research questions to understand the climate system, particularly the great uncertainties related to the role of the ocean. To recognize the community and build on achievements, the program will host several events throughout the year.
