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.
