All Announcements

On July 10-14, hundreds of scientists and stakeholders will gather in New York to address the existing challenges in describing and predicting regional sea level changes and in quantifying the intrinsic uncertainties. Follow along at #sealevel2017 and check the website for daily summaries. 

For three days, members and collaborators of the US AMOC Science Team met in Santa Fe to discuss advances in our understanding of the overturning circulation. Over 60 oral and poster presentations can be found on the website, along with highlights from the discussion. Also, a digital story is available, which captures the progression of the meeting. 

This workshop report on "Connecting Paleo & Modern Oceanographic Data to Understand Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation Over Decades to Centuries" highlights discussions from the meeting and identifies promising and potentially synergistic research directions for the paleo and modern oceanographic communities. 

The Climate Process Team on Internal-Wave Driven Ocean Mixing has published an article on recent advances in the understanding of internal-wave driven turbulent mixing in the ocean interior, along with new parameterizations for global climate ocean models and their climate impacts.

Early bird discount registration closes May 15 for the International WCRP/IOC Regional Sea Level Changes and Coastal Impacts Conference. The meeting will be held June 10-14, 2017 at Columbia University in New York. 

The 2017 spring edition of Variations is themed: "A case for observing the deep ocean." This edition highlights the existing “state-of-the-art” methods to measure the deep ocean, some of the scientific insights that have already been gained from these observations, and new methodologies and technologies to expand the network of deep observations. Join us for a webinar on May 16, featuring contributors from this edition. 

The 2016 Process Study Model Improvement (PSMI) Panel meeting focused on high-latitude and cryospheric processes, coastal and marginal seas, biophysical interactions, the tropical Pacific observing system, and data management. This report captures the presentations, discussions, recommendations, and action items the Panel agree upon at the meeting.

Do you have a new paper with interesting findings? US CLIVAR features recent results in the form of Research Highlights from the community of scientists participating in our interagency-sponsored projects, working groups, panels, science teams, and workshops. Check out the collection of research highlights and submit an idea. 

Apply to attend the Ocean Carbon Hot Spots Workshop, taking place at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute on September 25-26, 2017. The goal of the workshop is to develop an interdisciplinary research community that will facilitate a better understanding of carbon uptake and storage in western boundary current regions with an emphasis on the Kuroshio Extension. 

Now being hosted biennially, the US CLIVAR Summit will bring together the members of the Scientific Steering Committee and its three implementation Panels, agency managers, and invited speakers to review progress, identify opportunities, and develop strategies to advance program goals. The meeting will be held August 8-10 in Baltimore, Maryland.
