About U.S. CLIVAR

The goals of U.S. CLIVAR include:

  • Identifying and understanding the major patterns of climate variability on seasonal, decadal and longer time scales and evaluating their predictability;
  • Expanding our capacity in short term (seasonal to interannual) climate predictability and searching for ways to predict decadal variability;
  • Better documenting the record of rapid climate changes and the mechanisms for these events, and evaluating the potential for abrupt climate changes in the future;
  • Evaluating and enhancing the models used to project climate change due to human activity, including anthropogenically induced changes in atmospheric composition, and:
  • Detecting and describing any climate changes that may occur.
