WOCE Atlas volume 4 - Indian Ocean : hydrographic atlas
The Hydrographic Programme of the international World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) was a comprehensive global hydrographic survey of physical and chemical properties, of unprecedented scope and quality, and represents the "state of the oceans" during the 1990s.
The "Printed Atlas" is a copy of the published volume and contains full introductory text. The "Digital Atlas" presents the same graphical material, with additional properties and levels, ancillary data sets, and bibliographic material for each of the vertical sections.

Attribution of Weather and Climate-Related Extreme Events
Unusual or extreme weather and climate-related events are of great public concern and interest, yet there are often conflicting messages from scientists about whether such events can be linked to climate change. There is clear evidence that climate has changed as a result of human-induced greenhouse gas emissions, and that across the globe some aspects of extremes have changed as a result. But this does not imply that the probability of occurrence (or, given a fixed damage, risk) of a specific type of recently observed weather or climate event has changed significantly as a result of human in ...

Global sea-level rise update
Sea level is higher now and is rising much more rapidly than at any other time in the past 3 000 years. We know that sea level will continue to rise for many centuries, even after global temperatures are stabilized, as it takes that long for the ocean and ice sheets to respond fully to a warmer climate. Unchecked global warming is likely to raise sea level by several metres in coming centuries, leading to the loss of many coastal cities and entire island states. This longer-term threat is already being exacerbated by increased frequency of short-term extreme sea levels due to the superposition ...
Role of NMHSs in adaptation to climate variability and change : (Analysis report of a survey)
To understand better the role of NMHSs in adaptation at national level, the Climate Prediction and Adaptation Branch (CLPA) has conducted, for the first time, an online survey to gather this information for the benefit of the NMHSs and the people and institutions that they serve.
WCRP, 132. SPARC Report on the Evaluation of Chemistry-Climate Models
Three-dimensional climate models with a fully interactive representation of stratospheric ozone chemistry otherwise known as stratosphere-resolving chemistry-climate models (CCMs) are key tools for the attribution and prediction of stratospheric ozone changes arising from the combined effects of changes in the amounts of greenhouse gases (GHG) and ozone-depleting substances (ODS). These models can also be used to infer potential effects of stratospheric changes on the climate of the troposphere. In order to know how much confidence can be placed in the results from the CCMs, both individually ...

WCRP Implementation Plan 2010-2015
The WCRP Implementation Plan 2010-2015 describe the major research activities and initiatives that WCRP will promote and undertake during the next several years. These activities are based on the scientific challenges and opportunities of interest identified by the scientists involved in the programme, as well as on the national and international scientific priorities that would most benefit from the coordination and integration that can be provided by WCRP Projects and Working Groups.
WCDMP, 70. Guidelines for Plant Phenological Observations
The technical document on the guidelines for plant phenological observations raises the benefits of these types of observations in monitoring the impact of the changing climate on an important biosphere element of the climate system which is vegetation. The content of the document was elaborated by experts in climatology and biometeorology in a multidisciplinary team work approach. The guidelines included in the document are based on scientifically recognized principles and good practices undertaken by several institutions having long experience in carrying out plant phonological observations ...

The World Climate Research Programme achievements : scientific knowledge for climate adaptation, mitigation and risk management
This report illustrates the depth and breadth of observational research and analysis, modelling and synthesis, and climate projection and prediction activities that arebeing coordinated by WCRP. In addition it provides the highlights of the solid scientific foundation that WCRP has established for developing and disseminating the climate science knowledge that will be required in the ensuing decades to inform decision-makers on all aspects of mitigation, adaptation and risk management associated with climate variability and change.
