Welcome
SPARC DynVar is an international climate modelling project that studies the influence of the stratospheric circulation on the global climate system.
The project uses general circulation models to ask
- How does the stratosphere affect the tropospheric general circulation?
- How does the stratosphere impact climate variability on all timescales?
- How does the stratosphere impact climate change?
The project involves an international group of scientists from modeling centres and universities (see the Participants page). The project is open to all researchers interested in contributing; please contact us if you wish to participate. It would also be helpful if you filled out the participant survey that was prepared for the March 2008 DynVar workshop.
SPARC DynVar is a subproject of the Stratospheric Process and their Role in Climate Project (SPARC). SPARC is a core project of the World Climate Research Program (WCRP) of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).
