All Announcements
Summit presentations online, plus a video
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."
Call for new US CLIVAR workshops and working groups
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.
Research Highlight: The Climatology of Extreme Precipitation in the Northeast US
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.
Register to attend a virtual workshop on climate variability in the Intra-Americas Seas
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.
Variations 2015 Summer Edition
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.
CLIVAR-relevant sessions at the 2016 Ocean Sciences Meeting
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.
AMS 96th Annual Meeting, CLIVAR sessions of interest
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.
Deadline Extended! Abstracts due July 14 for virtual workshop on climate variability in the Intra-Americas Seas
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.
CLIVAR-relevant sessions at the 2015 AGU Fall Meeting
AGU Fall Meeting will be held this year from December 14 - 18. In preparation for the meeting, the US CLIVAR Project Office has compiled a condensed list of sessions that are relevant to the community.
Archived Webinars of US CLIVAR Working Group Presentations
Leading up to the 2015 Summit, US CLIVAR Working Groups and the US AMOC Science Team are presenting on their efforts to advance the science. The archived videos and slides of the three webinars that have been hosted, so far, can be viewed online: Extremes Working Group, Eastern Tropical Oceans Synthesis Working Group, and Arctic Change and Possible Influence on Mid-Latitude Weather and Climate Working Group.
