U.S. CLIVAR Hurricane Working Group
The objectives of the U.S. CLIVAR Hurricane Working Group (2011-) include:
- an improved understanding of interannual variability and trends in the tropical cyclone activity from the beginning of the 20th century to the present
- quantifying changes in the characteristics of tropical cyclones under a warming climate

NOVEMBER 2017: New research links with PRIMAVERA and HRCM
We are actively building collaborations between PRIMAVERA and U.S. CLIVAR. A special season of the 3rd PRIMAVERA General Assembly was dedicated to establishing research links between members of both projects for a range of topics relevant to HRCM, including:
- Local atmospheric response to WBCs - Shoshiro Minobe, Hokkaido University
- Role of mixed layer depth in surface frontogenesis - Tomoki Tozuka, University of Tokyo
- Blocking, extreme weather, and the role of the ocean - Young-Oh Kwon, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
- North Atlantic SST and Eurasian blocking - Noel Keenlyside, UiB and Bjerknes Centre
- Ocean-atmosphere interactions at ocean mesoscale - Sabrina Speich, LMD-IPSL
- Effect of ocean mesoscale eddy atmosphere interaction on eddy energetics - Ping Chang, Texas A&M University
- Storm track interactions with stationary waves in Northern Hemisphere - Walt Robinson, North Carolina State University
