Overall goal of CLIVAR/PAGES intersection: To improve the understanding of decadal to

centennial climate variability

PAGES / CLIVAR in the past:

History- Developed in the early 90’s- to improve understanding of decadal to century scale climate variability- high-resolution paleoclimatic data to improve the predictability of change (corals, tree-rings, varved sediments and ice cores, ...)

Topics • dynamics of low-latitude climate change• global ocean thermohaline variability• regional-to-global scale hydrologic variability • dynamics of abrupt climatic change• model evaluation and improvement • climate change detection

ESF conference series, research initiatives (ARTS, PMIP)

PAGES/CLIVAR present and future

Reconstitution and revision: • C/P-intersection working group meeting; Victoria, Canada, November 2004

Developed new vision to reflect more specific issues, based on paleo-reconstruction, instrumental data analysis, and modeling,

PAGES / CLIVAR: new vision

Key scientific issues

• Climate variability over the last few millennia

• Abrupt climate change - extreme events

• Hydrologic, biospheric, land-surface interactions:

Constrain/evaluate models; Expansion of the PMIP activities

• Tropical-extratropical links including ocean and atmospheric

teleconnections

• Overarching and Cross-cutting Implementation issues:

Outreach - workshops - link model/data communities

Tropical-extratropical Linkages:Close interaction is expected between the CLIVAR Southern Ocean Panel and the PAGES/IMAGES Southern Ocean program, in addition to obvious links, already established (PAGES, old PANASH community).

Other issues of joint interest between PAGES and CLIVAR includethe NAO, PDO, Monsoons, IOD with regard to past strength and activity.
