Even without any human influence, past records show that climate can be expected to continue to undergo considerable change over decades to centuries. Measures for adaption and mitigation will call for policy decisions based on a sound scientific foundation. Better understanding and prediction of climate variations can be achieved most efficiently through a nationally recognized "dec-cen" science plan. This book articulates the scientific issues that must be addressed to advance us efficiently toward that understanding and outlines the data collection and modeling needed. 606 $aClimatic changes$vCongresses 615 0$aClimatic changes 676 $a551.5/253 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bCommission on Geosciences, Environment, and Resources. 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bBoard on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910961684803321 996 $aDecade-to-century-scale climate variability and change$94360930 997 $aUNINA
