Following the statement of CLIVAR’s mission, CLIVAR’s organizational structure is reviewed, noting changes from 2012 to 2013. Its responsibilities for three of WCRP’s Grand Challenges are listed followed by a summary of the five Tiger Teams who are addressing CLIVAR research foci. These are:

1. Intraseasonal, seasonal and interannual variability and predictability of monsoon systems.
2. Decadal variability and predictability of ocean and climate variability
3. Trends, nonlinearities and extreme events.
4. Marine biophysical interactions and dynamics of upwelling systems
5. Dynamics of regional sea level variability.

The role of ICPO in communicating CLIVAR is summarized. The topics of recent Exchanges are listed. Finally, areas of mutual interest to CLIVAR and CliC are identified.

Presented by Roger Barry, CLIVAR, at the 9th CliC Scientific Steering Group meeting in Potsdam, Germany 2013.
