Outcome of the WCRP workshop on Modelling Monsoon Intraseasonal Variability 2.8.2010
The WCRP/CLIVAR Asian-Australian Monsoon Panel, in conjunction with the WWRP-THORPEX/WCRP Year of Tropical Convection MJO Task Force, held a Workshop on Modelling Monsoon Intraseasonal Variability (ISV) in June 2010 at the APCC in Busan, Korea. The workshop assessed the current capability to predict and simulate ISV, developed a process-oriented diagnostics/metrics that target the underlying physical mechanisms of the ISV, and prioritized the future research needs and directions to improve simulation and prediction of ISV. Details of the workshop, including the presentations, are available here.

Go to Met Office homepage Surface Temperature Datasets for the 21st Century 4.8.2010
The UK Met Office is leading a multi-institutional initiative on producing a new suite of surface temperature datasets to characterise changes at finer space and time scales. A workshop is planned in September 2010 in Exeter, UK, and several white papers have been solicited ahead for broad input thought a moderated blog. Read more.
noaa_climate2009 State of the Climate in 2009 - NOAA Report 30.7.2010
This 20th annual report evaluates 10 key indicators of the Earth's climate including air and sea temperatures, sea level, sea-ice extension, ice and snow cover on land. The document has been published in BAMS (vol. 91), June 2010.
indo_pacwarmpool Regional Variability of Sea-Level change in the Indian Ocean 27.7.2010
The warming of the Indo-Pacific warm pool in the past 50 years seems the cause of an unevenly rising of Indian Ocean Sea levels affecting some densely populated costal areas. The study, published in Nature Geosciences, is co-authored by scientists from U. Colorado at Boulder and NCAR, among these authors is Dr G. Meehl, Co-chair of the WCRP WGCM.
