All Announcements

While US CLIVAR has traditionally focused on ocean-atmosphere coupling and its role on climate variability, in this edition of Variations we examine the coupling between the two lowest layers of the atmosphere, the troposphere and the stratosphere.

Tune in on Thursday, April 18 at 12PM EDT for Timothy DelSole's (George Mason University) webinar "Differences in ocean variability between models and observations".

Tune in on Thursday, April 4 at 12PM EDT for Pierre Dutrieux's webinar "Ice sheet-ocean interactions: Processes linking the tropics to Antarctic glacial ice drawdown and the advent of robotic explorations".

Requests are now being accepted for US CLIVAR-sponsored workshops for 2019 and beyond. Submissions are encouraged from the US climate science community and their collaborators. All documents must be submitted by April 12. The next call for workshops will be in fall 2019. 

A meeting report summarizing the September 2018 WCRP International Subseasonal to Decadal (S2D) Prediction Conference has been published in the January 31 edition of EOS.

A meeting report summarizing the June 2018 International Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) Science Meeting has been published in the January 30 edition of EOS.

Comments are invited on the draft Tropical Pacific Observing System (TPOS) 2020 Second Report. This Report updates the evolving design of the backbone observing system, responding to feedback on the First Report, new research and evidence, and gaps identified by sponsors. Download the report and review template at the link below and submit the completed template to to info@tpos2020.org by the February 28.

Nomination deadline for federal scientists extended to February 4. 

The US CLIVAR Scientific Steering Committee seeks qualified individuals to serve on its three subsidiary panels. 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.

Abstract submission deadline for federal scientists extended to February 4.

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 by federal scientists are due February 4.

Registration and abstract submission is open for 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. Applications and abstracts are due March 8.
