Ocean Carbon Uptake working groups

Joint Working Groups with US Climate Variability and Predictability (CLIVAR) Program

  • Ocean carbon uptake in the CMIP5 models (Joint U.S. CLIVAR/OCB, Co-Chairs: Annalisa Bracco, Curtis Deutsch, Taka Ito) (2012-2015)
  • Heat and carbon uptake by the Southern Ocean (Joint U.S. CLIVAR/OCB, Co-Chairs: Joellen Russell, Igor Kamenkovich) (2012-2015)

Activities and Products of OCB/US CLIVAR Working Groups

Joint OCB/US CLIVAR workshop Ocean’s Carbon and Heat Uptake: Uncertainties and Metrics (December 2014, San Francisco, CA)

Joint editions of the OCB and US CLIVAR newsletters featuring working group outcomes and science articles (Spring/Summer 2015, Fall 2015)
