!  14 members from 12 nations !  New members from CliC !  Future: new member in atmospheric science?

!  To serve as a forum for the discussion and communication of scientific advances in the understanding of climate variability and change in the Southern Ocean.

!  To advise CLIVAR, CliC, and SCAR on progress, achievements, new opportunities and impediments in internationally-coordinated Southern Ocean research.

!  1. Facilitate progress in the development of tools and methods required to assess climate variability, climate change and climate predictability of the ocean-atmosphere-ice system in the Southern Ocean.

!  2. Identify opportunities and coordinated strategies to implement these methods, spanning observations, models, experiments, and process studies.

!  3. Provide scientific and technical input into international research coordination, collaborating as required with other relevant programs, including the Southern Ocean Observing System (SOOS).

!  4. Monitor and evaluate progress in Southern Ocean research, and identify gaps.

!  5. Enhance interaction between the meteorology, oceanography, cryosphere, geology, biogeochemistry and paleoclimate communities with an interest in the climate of the Southern Ocean.

!  6. Work with relevant agencies on the standardization, distribution and archiving of Southern Ocean observations.
