CLIVAR town hall & sessions at 2022 Ocean Sciences Meeting
The 2022 Ocean Sciences Meeting will take place February 27-March 4, 2022 in Honolulu, HI. This year's theme, "Balance is Key" emphasizes the importance of working together. Included here is a list of relevant sessions organized by the community.
Daily to Decadal Ecological Forecasting along North American Coastlines Workshop
The Daily to Decadal Ecological Forecasting along North American Coastlines Workshop, a joint effort between US CLIVAR and the Ocean Carbon and Biogeochemistry (OCB) programs, will be held April 12-14, 2022 in Woods Hole, MA and virtual.
Research Challenge on Climate at the Coasts. A US CLIVAR White Paper
US CLIVAR is pleased to share this White Paper, an addendum to the US CLIVAR Science Plan, outlining the motivation, scope, and research directions for a newly established ten-year Research Challenge on Climate at the Coasts. The White Paper identifies multiple avenues for future research needs and areas of opportunity including new coastal observations for process understanding of coastal systems, the evaluation of models for improved predictability, and trans-disciplinary methods to link science and applications across US coastlines. As envisioned, the Research Challenge will engage participation of scientists within the US CLIVAR community and develop partnerships with the many other research and applications programs addressing coastal variability and change.

Why Greenland’s Continental Shelves Hold the Reins of Its Melting Glaciers
Over the last two decades, researchers have established a clear connection between ocean conditions on the continental shelf and the behavior of Greenland’s more than 200 marine terminating glaciers. But there is still no comprehensive system for monitoring these changes over the long term—such as the one proposed by Straneo et al. (2019)—and it is desperately needed. Check out the new Arctic Ocean Circulation Workshop blog by guest authors Josh Willis, Michael Wood, and Ian Fenty.
Spring 2021 call for US CLIVAR-supported workshops
Requests are now being accepted for US CLIVAR-sponsored workshops. Submissions are encouraged from the US climate science community and their collaborators. All documents must be submitted by April 23. The next call for workshops will be in fall 2021.
Workshop on Future US Earth System Reanalysis
Building a Community of Biogeochemical Float Data Users: The GO-BGC array is a 5-year effort funded by NSF to deploy 500 profiling floats eqiupped with biogeochemical sensors in the world ocean. To inform and engage a broad oceanographic user community, US CLIVAR is teaming up with OCB and GO-BGC leadership to plan a virtual workshop from June 28-30, 2021.
