CLIVAR/PACS Interests in NAME
To obtain a better understanding and more realistic simulation of the continental-scale NAM and its variability (emphasis on b.c’s);
To demonstrate that observed connections between the leading patterns of climate variability (e.g. ENSO, MJO) and the monsoon are captured in climate models;
To develop partnerships between NAME observationalists and model development experts to improve the representation of key processes in coupled climate models;
To advance the development of the climate observing system in southwestern North America and Central America.
