Documents for the US CLIVAR Pacific Implementation Panel

1. Documents for the Aug 02 meeting:
   1. August meeting agenda   .   .   .   .  August meeting report to SSC
   2. SSC comments on Pacific process studies

2. Here are three relevant extracts from US CLIVAR documents that describe ideas for process studies and how those studies fit into the scientific basis for Pacific CLIVAR. The original documents (on the US CLIVAR publications page) are quite long and often boring. My hope is that by extracting these few relevant sections more of us will read them.
   1. Extract from US CLIVAR Implementation Plan "Pacific sector" (11 pages)
      Summary scientific basis for PBECS and overview of the goals, components and process studies.
      This is our overall guiding plan, and should be read by PIP members.
   2. Introduction/summary of the US Pacific Plan (12 pages)
      A short overview of Pacific CLIVAR, summarizing the strategy and observational components of the implementation plan.
      There is a brief section on process studies and relevant supporting studies at the end.
   3. Extract from PBECS document: Section 9: "Process Experiments" (10 pages)
      From the original (Aug 2000) and massive PBECS document.
      This section describes (in some detail) nine process study ideas that came out of a workshop in La Jolla in Oct 1999.

3. Documents re the Sarachik-Mantua PDV workshop (24-25 Feb 03):
   1. Letter from Sarachik and Mantua to the SSC, July 2002
   2. Workshop announcement, Nov 2002
   3. Decadal variability in the Pacific (Sarachik and Vimont, 2002) (48 pages, pdf)
