For questions about the webinar series, please contact Sandy Lucas.

The Climate Variability and Predictability (CVP) program will host a webinar series on AMOC Mechanisms and Decadal Prediction, beginning November 2016. This series is based on recently funded projects in this area. Selected projects in this competition focused on multi-model analyses and experimentation that sought to better understand the mechanisms of AMOC variability and predictability in different models.

AMOC Mechanisms and Decadal Predictability

These webinars will be recorded and the video will be available on this page after the presentation. We look forward to your participation in this series.
