CLIVAR Pan American Climate Studies (PACS) The principal goal of the CLIVAR PACS is to extend the scope and improve the skill of operational seasonal-to-interdecadal climate prediction over the Americas. Several of the important climate features of this region include the warm season rainfall and extreme weather events, such as hurricanes and torrential rain falls. The climate of the region is dominated by the intertropical convergence zones (ITCZ) over the eastern Pacific and equatorial Atlantic and by the monsoons over the land regions. Current research supported by CLIVAR PACS has the following scientific goals:
