The weekly appearing scientific jounals Science and Nature have a high reputation
within the scientific community and a wide readership crosscutting all disciplines
of natural science. In addition, articles in these journals are often picked-up,
recognized and widely distributedby the media. Because of these reasons and
growing interest of the climate community to publish articles in these journals
during the past years we are starting to announce contributions relevant to
CLIVAR on this page.
Note, that due to the restrictions by these journals we only display public information.
