CLIVAR Reports - 2014 Pan-CLIVAR Meeting

This year CLIVAR will be producing the CLIVAR Achievements Report as a landmark publication on the past 10 years of CLIVAR as well the new CLIVAR Science and Implementation Plan, drawing input from CLIVAR leadership on on-going and future priorities and activities.

The CLIVAR Panels/WGs and Endorsed Projects have prepared reports with summary text, key figures and references that highlight achievements over the past 10 years in terms of advances in understanding, climate model development, observing system development, data sets, analyses. The Panels/WGs, Endorsed Projects and Research Foci teams have also provide information on future priorities and implementation activities.

The reports are provided below together with contact names.
