Published by: WMO ; 2011The Coordinated Ocean Wave Climate Projections (COWCLIP) workshop was held on April 11-13, 2011, at the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) in Geneva, Switzerland, with the support of the World Climate Research Programme and the Joint Technical Commission for Oceanography and Marine Meteorology of WMO and Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) of UNESCO. The workshop aimed to bring together international researchers with interest in wind wave climate variability and change, to discuss the potential path forward for a collaborative working group to address challenges in this field following the publication of proposed activities in 2010 (Hemer et al., 2010). This document summarises the research questions discussed at the workshop, in order to present a community view of the key scientific questions, challenges and recommendations relevant to wind-waves in a changing climate.

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 ...

Published by: WMO ; 2011Unusual 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 influence or that it is likely to become more or less frequent in the future. Conversely, it 2 is sometimes stated that it isn’t possible to attribute any individual weather or climate event to a particular cause. Such statements can be interpreted to mean that human induced climate change could never be shown to be at least partly responsible for any specific event. In this paper we propose a way forward through the development of carefully calibrated physically-based assessments of observed weather and climate-related events and identification of any changed risk of such events attributable to particular factors.

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.
