Variability and Predictability. Thus far, it is one of the first
medium-large process studies expected to emerge for US CLIVAR.
Principal support for CLIMODE comes from the Physical Oceanography
program under the Ocean Sciences Division of the Geosciences Directorate
at the National Science Foundation. The cognizant program manager is
Dr. Eric Itsweire.
