Abstracts are now being accepted for an international conference on ENSO in a Warmer Climate. The goal of the conference is to review progress on the science of ENSO with a focus on examining the range of ENSO “flavors.”

On October 13, UCAR's University Community Programs will host a webcast featuring the co-chairs for the US CLIVAR Changing Width of the Tropical Belt Working Group. This talk will highlight recent findings on how and why the boundary of the tropics has been moving poleward. The webcast will begin at 12:00pm MT. 

The Ocean Carbon Hot Spots Workshop will take place on September 25-26 in Moss Landing, California. You can check out the poster presentations in the digital gallery. 

Requests are now being accepted for up to one new US CLIVAR-sponsored working group for 2018. Submissions are encouraged from the US climate science community. All documents must be submitted by October 12, 2017. The next call for working groups will be in September 2018.

On February 17-18, US CLIVAR will host a workshop to create a shared understanding of ocean mesoscale eddy interactions with the atmosphere. The workshop will be held in conjunction with the 2018 Ocean Sciences Meeting in Portland, Oregon, and limited to 50 participants. Applications are due October 6. 

Requests are now being accepted for US CLIVAR-sponsored workshops for 2018. Submissions are encouraged from the US climate science community and their collaborators. All documents must be submitted by September 29, 2017. The next call for workshops will be in spring 2018. 

The WCRP/IOC Sea Level Conference organizers seek signatories for the conference statement, based on input from the broad community. You can read about the conference in the daily highlights and a "by the numbers" graphic. 

Held February 11-16, the 2018 Ocean Sciences Meeting will bring together ocean researchers and collaborators in Portland, Oregon. In preparation for the meeting, the US CLIVAR Project Office has compiled a condensed list of sessions that are relevant to the community and organized by Panels, Working Groups, and community members. The list of sessions is not intended to be exhaustive but to help digest the collection of the hundreds of sessions and events. 

The 2017 summer edition of Variations, with guest editor Sonya Legg (Princeton U.), is themed: "Polar ocean and sea ice interactions." This edition focuses on describing and understanding the interactions between ocean circulation and sea ice, in addition to highlighting new observational and modeling opportunities. 

On the fifth day, conference participants — filled with four days of fascinating, relevant, and timely discussions — were able to hear about the latest modeling efforts and different scenarios for the future.
