... The objectives of CLIVAR are to describe and understand climate variability on seasonal to centennial time scales, identify the physical processes responsible, Including anthropogenic effects, and develop modeling and predictive capabilities where practicable. In this brief report we, the National Research Council's Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment (GEWEX)

... A-25) , "so complementary are GEWEX and CLIVAR that it will be essentialfor ClLIVAR to develop close working relationships with all of the component projects of GEWEX, which are "process-related " projects, each of which also has the development of global data sets as a key ingredient." The importance of developing effective coupling mechanisms between the various facets of GEWEX and CLIVAR is repeatedly emphasized by the Dec-Cen, GOALS, 21st Century, and GC P reports (A2,A9,Al6, BI, B2, B3, B4, B5,B7, BS, B9, BlO, BI I, Bl7, BlS, Bl9, DI3, E3, E6)
