All Announcements

Remote participation will be available during the plenary sessions of the upcoming workshop, Translating Process Understanding to Improve Climate Models, to be held October 15-16 at NOAA GFDL. Registration must be received before the workshop begins. Remote participants will be able to ask questions via a chat box. 

Video recordings and presentations are now available for the Observing & Modeling Climate Variability in the Intra-Americas Seas & Impacts on the Continental Americas & the Caribbean workshop. Also check out the posters in the gallery and submit questions/comments by September 23.

Bringing together members of the community, the 2015 Summit featured scientific and programmatic presentations and engaging discussions to advance activities of the US CLIVAR program. These presentations are now available online, as well as a video highlighting the talks from the special science session on "Understanding the Earth's Climate Warming Hiatus."

Requests are now being accepted for US CLIVAR-sponsored workshops and working groups. The call for submissions is open to the US climate science community. The deadline for submission is October 2. 

Extreme precipitation and associated flooding has a high societal and economic cost. In the Northeast US extreme precipitation has increased by more than 70% in the last 50 years and is projected to continue to increase.

Join a community of researchers online September 9-11, four hours each day inclusive of a one hour break and poster discussion, for a workshop on "Observing & Modeling Climate Variability in the Intra-Americas Seas & Impacts on the Continental Americas & the Caribbean." Participants must register to receive the login information. 

The slowdown in the rate of global mean surface temperature warming over the past 15 years or so has arguably led to one of the most contentious debates in the climate community. In fact, some argue there is no "hiatus." The latest edition of the newsletter, Understanding the Earth's Climate Warming Hiatus: Putting the pieces together, features six articles providing various perspectives on the controversial topic. 

The 2016 Ocean Sciences Meeting will be held from February 21-26, 2016 in New Orleans, Louisiana. In preparation for the meeting, the US CLIVAR Project Office has compiled a condensed list of sessions that are relevant to the community. 

The annual theme for the upcoming AMS Annual Meeting is Earth System Science in Service to Society. A number of sessions are relevant to the US CLIVAR community such as those in the 28th Conference on Climate Variability and Change. 

A virtual workshop will be held online September 9-11, 2015, "Observing & Modeling Climate Variability in the Intra-Americas Seas & Impacts on the Continental Americas & the Caribbean." Abstacts are being solicited for both oral and poster presentations. This unique online format will allow participants from different regions to join remotely and interact in meaningful ways. One $500 award will be granted to the most outstanding early career scientist or student presentation. Abstracts are due July 14.
