The Climate Variability and Predictability (CLIVAR) program, established internationally in 1995 and expanded to include a U.S. component in 1998, focuses on improving understanding and skill in predicting climate variability on seasonal to centennial time scales. This report evaluates the performance of the U.S. CLIVAR Project Office (PO) in fulfilling its charge from supporting agencies. The report concludes that the project office is vital for coordinating US CLIVAR activities and is effective despite limited resources. It also provides suggestions for enhancing the communications from and visibility of US CLIVAR activities and for developing strategic directions for the future. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 610 14 Climate Variability and Predictability (CLIVAR) Project Office|zUnited States. 610 20 World Climate Research Programme.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n88664815 610 20 U.S. CLIVAR.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ no2005065139 610 24 Climate Variability and Predictability Programme. 610 27 World Climate Research Programme.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/640957 610 27 U.S. CLIVAR.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1617558 650 0 Climatic changes|xResearch|zUnited States.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2009120420 650 7 Climatic changes|xResearch.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org /fast/864259 651 7 United States.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204155 655 4 Electronic books. 710 2 National Research Council (U.S.).|bCommittee to Review the U.S. Climate Variability and Predictability (CLIVAR) Project Office.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ no2012051209 710 2 National Research Council (U.S.).|bBoard on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n83153676 710 2 U.S. CLIVAR.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ no2005065139 776 08 |iPrint version:|tReview of the U.S. CLIVAR Project Office.|dWashington, DC : National Academies Press, ©2004 |z0309095018|w(OCoLC)57497216 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=126897|zOnline eBook.
