Arising from submissions and discussion at the 2011 Open Science Conference (OSC) of the World Climate Research Program (WCRP), the book addresses research and intellectual challenges which span the full range of Program activities.   Some 1900 participants in the Conference, including 541 graduate students and early career scientists from 86 nations and more than 300 scientists from developing nations, were invited to provide comments on the papers, both before the conference and in themed daily plenary sessions. The resulting book incorporates the contributions of distinguished climate scientists as well as experts who use science-based climate information to formulate policy and initiate responsive action.   Climate Science for Serving Society: Research, Modeling and Prediction Priorities fosters a more effective dialogue between the climate information and knowledge developers ? the research community ? and decision makers who must respond to difficult adaptation, mitigation and risk management issues. 606 $aClimatic changes$xResearch$xSocial aspects 606 $aWeather forecasting$xResearch 606 $aEnvironmental policy$xInternational cooperation 615 0$aClimatic changes$xResearch$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aWeather forecasting$xResearch. 615 0$aEnvironmental policy$xInternational cooperation. 676 $a551.6072 701 $aAsrar$b Ghassem R$011899 701 $aHurrell$b James W$01755688 712 02$aWorld Climate Research Programme. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910437933103321 996 $aClimate science for serving society$94192597 997 $aUNINA
