    Decadal Variability and Predictability
    Projecting climate on longer (decadal) timescales is improved by better understanding Ocean circulation.
  • Arctic Climatic Mechanisms

    Arctic Climatic Mechanisms
    Arctic changes are not well understood, and predicting sea ice is important for safety & industry.

AMOC-Climate Linkages in the North and/or South Atlantic

Year: 2016

The CVP program solicited projects that refine the current scientific understanding of the AMOC state, variability, and change. Specifically, projects were sought that use newly deployed and existing observations in combination with modeling experiments to refine our understanding of the present and historical circulation (and related transports of heat and freshwater) in the North and/or South Atlantic. An emerging priority is to provide a more detailed characterization of AMOC flow pathways and their impact on variability. Successful principal investigators become members of the U.S. AMOC Science Team.

Climate Process Teams – Understanding MJO Initiation and Propagation

Year: 2015

Proposals were solicited for focused data analysis and/or multi-model experimentation that sought to better understand tropical Pacific processes, biases, and climatology. Proposals for intercomparisons of model parameterizations, reduced-model experiments, intermediate and conceptual model studies of bias development, short-term forecast experiments, and metrics development were desired.
