The international CLIVAR (Climate Variability and Predictability) program, under the auspices of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP), focuses on describing and understanding variability and change of the physical climate system on time scales from months to centuries and beyond. The goal is to assess predictability and develop information systems and practical prediction capabilities through the use of new suites of observations, historical records, paleo records, analysis of data, development of products, and application of coupled climate system models.
Since its official launch at the first International CLIVAR Conference in Paris (1998), CLIVAR has emphasized cross-disciplinary perspectives in exploring the dynamics of the coupled atmosphere, land, and ocean climate system. Guided by the CLIVAR Science and Implementation Plans, CLIVAR has coordinated activities leading to advancements in many areas.
The CLIVAR 2004 Conference, June 21-25, 2004 in Baltimore, Maryland, USA will highlight the many advances in understanding and predicting climate resulting from CLIVAR. A major purpose of the conference will be to look to the future. Speakers have been charged to identify current research challenges and provide a roadmap for future research, in particular, taking into account how CLIVAR can best contribute to advancing the universal goals of economic and social well-being.
A Second Circular announces the program for the Conference and includes a call for papers. It also presents information on conference logistics including the venue, travel information, housing, registration, and requesting financial assistance.
Questions or comments can be addressed to the Conference Organizers or the Conference Secretariat.
