The U.S. CLIVAR Western Boundary Current Working
Group was formed in January 2007. The group was charged with identifying
shortcomings in the atmosphere, ocean, and coupled models that
need to be addressed to accurately model western boundary current
atmosphere-ocean interaction. The group will be hosted a workshop
in Phoenix, 15-17 January 2009. Additional information is
available online.
