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 December 17.

Come join the US CLIVAR Project Office in Washington, DC! We are searching for a Program Specialist II to assist the community in planning and implementing coordinated research efforts to achieve program goals, and develop and deliver useful communication and outreach materials. Applications are due November 20. 

Abstract submission deadline for federal scientists extended to February 4.

Register to attend the joint US and International CLIVAR Workshop, May 7–9, 2019, in Boulder, Colorado. Participants will consider progress and lessons from past 30 years of research in atmospheric convection and air-sea interactions over the tropical oceans, identify outstandging questions, and propose future process studies to address them. Abstracts from federal scientists are due February 4.

Abstract submission is extended through November 30, 2018, for the workshop on Sources and Sinks of Ocean Mesoscale Eddy Energy to be held March 12-14, 2019, at Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida.

Over 300 scientists kicked off the International Conferences on Subseasonal to Decadal Prediction with the latest research results from the weather and climate community. Read the daily summaries for a few highlights from the meeting. 

If you are unable to join in person, the International Conferences on Subseasonal to Decadal Prediction will be live streamed. The meetings will take place from September 17–21, with concurrent sessions on subseasonal to seasonal (S2S) and season to decadal (S2D) prediction themes. 

Requests are now being accepted for up to one new US CLIVAR-sponsored working group for 2019. Submissions are encouraged from the US climate science community. All documents must be submitted by October 12, 2018. The next call for working groups will be in September 2019.

Jeff Becker joined the US CLIVAR Project Office in June 2018 as the new meetings manager. Jeff brings over fifteen years of experience in managing meetings and events for trade associations and is excited to work with our community. 

The Ocean Carbon Hot Spots workshop brought together the research community studying western boundary current regions to discuss gaps in understanding, observing and modeling challenges, and newly available tools. This report synthesizes the workshop and identifies recommendations for next steps. 

Uncertainty is an inherent part of science and is fundamental to scientific progress. The articles in this edition shed light on some ways in which uncertainties in climate projections can be assessed, managed, and communicated.
