Variations: Improving the value of climate data and models for assessing climate impacts and policies

The latest edition of Variations features five articles on improving the value of climate data and models for assessing climate impacts and informing decisions. The invited authors present opportunities for climate scientists to understand the diverse ways in which climate model output is conceptualized and put to use by those in other fields. Join them on January 20 at 1pm ET for presentations and discussion of their articles.
