Acronym: WG-20

Co-Chairman: Michael Foreman
Co-Chairman: Yasuhiro Yamanaka

Parent Committee: POC

Mail to WG-20 Members

Terms of reference:

Analyse and evaluate climate change projections for the North Pacific and its marginal seas based on predictions from the latest global and regional models submitted to the Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) for their 4th assessment report;
Facilitate analyses of climate effects on marine ecosystems and ecosystem feedbacks to climate by, for example computing an ensemble of the IPCC model projections for the North Pacific and making these projections available to other PICES groups such as CFAME;
Facilitate the development of higher-resolution regional ocean and coupled atmosphere-ocean models that are forced by, and take their boundary conditions from, IPCC global or regional models;
Facilitate the development of local and regional data sets (e.g., SST, river flow, sea ice cover) by incorporating information from climate model projections as well as observations and historical re-analyses;
Ensure effective two-way communication with CLIVAR;
Convene workshops/sessions to evaluate and compare results;
Publish a final report summarizing results.
