Current CVP Research Areas

Recent CVP Competitions

Title: AMOC-Climate Linkages in the North and/or South Atlantic Year: 2016
Description: The CVP program solicited projects that refine the current scientific understanding of the AMOC state, variability, and change. Specifically, projects were sought that use newly deployed and existing observations in combination with modeling experiments to refine our understanding of the present and historical circulation (and related transports of heat and freshwater) in the North and/or South Atlantic. An emerging priority is to provide a more detailed characterization of AMOC flow pathways and their impact on variability. Successful principal investigators become members of the U.S. AMOC Science Team.

Title: Climate Process Teams – Understanding MJO Initiation and Propagation Year: 2015
Description: Proposals were solicited for focused data analysis and/or multi-model experimentation that sought to better understand tropical Pacific processes, biases, and climatology. Proposals for intercomparisons of model parameterizations, reduced-model experiments, intermediate and conceptual model studies of bias development, short-term forecast experiments, and metrics development were desired.

About Climate Variability & Predictability (CVP)

A vital part of CPO's Earth System Science Division, the CVP Program supports research to provide a process-level understanding of the climate system through observation, modeling, analysis, and field studies. This understanding is needed to improve climate models and predictions so that scientists can better anticipate the impacts of future climate variability and change.
