CCSM Climate Variability Working Group

The Climate Variability Working Group (CVWG) was formed to analyze natural and anthropogenically-induced patterns of climate variability in CCSM and its component models as a means of furthering our understanding of the observed climate system. The CVWG also conducts simulations with CCSM and its component models that are available to the broad research community.

CCSM Project

The Community Climate System Model (CCSM) is a fully-coupled, global climate model that provides state-of-the-art computer simulations of the Earth's past, present, and future climate states.

CCSM is sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). Administration of the CCSM is maintained by the Climate and Global Dynamics Division (CGD) at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR).
