CLIVAR (climate variability and predictability) is a component of the World Climate Research Programme. Its purpose is to describe and understand climate variability and predictability on seasonal to centennial time-scales, identify the physical processes responsible for climate change and develop modeling and predictive capabilities for climate modelling.[1]
Dr Antonietta Capotondi was elected as PICES WG-49 co-chair representing CLIVAR in 2023.[2]
