1 WCRP s core project on the Ocean-Atmosphere System WESTPAC-X, May 2015, Phuket Valery Detemmerman, ICPO Exec Director

2 CLIVAR: CLIMATE & OCEAN variability, predictability and change To observe, simulate and predict changes in Earth s climate system with a focus on the ocean-atmosphere system as part of the climate system Enabling better understanding of climate variability, predictability and change To the benefit of society and the environment in which we live Credit: Los Alamos National Laboratory

3 CLIVAR Structure

4 CLIVAR: Basin panels Int l Coordination. Regional Implementation. Observations -- process studies modeling RAMA Array Decline of Carbon uptake from repeat hydrography, Perez et al 2013 Multi-national, -institutional, and -investor process study programs

5 Research Foci Timely, tractable and socially-relevant research challenges; limited life-time (2-5 yrs) Cross-cutting between CLIVAR & WCRP, modeling & obs. GCs Regional sea-level change & coastal impacts Extremes Mature & Ongoing Decadal climate variability and predictability Planetary energy balance & ocean heat storage ENSO in a changing climate Under Development Predictability of monsoon systems Upwelling Systems

6 Consolidated CLIVAR Structure Core Panels Research Foci Ocean Model Development Panel Global Synthesis and Observations Panel Predictability of monsoon systems Decadal climate variability and predictability Climate Dynamics Panel Monsoons Panel Atlantic Region Panel Pacific Region Panel Indian Ocean Region Panel Southern Ocean Region Panel Biophysical interactions and dynamics of upwelling systems Understanding and predicting weather & climate extremes Planetary energy balance & ocean heat storage Regional sea-level change & coastal impacts ENSO in a changing climate

8 New CLIVAR Science Plan First draft anticipated 2nd half of Will reflect greater collaboration across Earth science disciplines. Scientific scope will be informed by progress and participating country interests Implementation will include enhanced interactions with other WCRP projects, regional entities and FutureEarth.

9 A Vision for WCRP

10 Enhance the Regional Presence of WCRP WCRP is developing a multi-year strategy that supports the organization of regionally focused activities with related workshops and symposia organized in cooperation with regional institutions to attract and involve regional scientists.
