• Global Climate Observing System

  Global Climate Observing System The Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) is intended to be a long-term, user-driven operational system capable of providing the comprehensive observations required for monitoring the climate syst

  GCOS is vital for: detecting and attributing climate change; assessing the impacts of climate variability and change; supporting research toward improved understanding, modelling and prediction of the climate system. It addresses the total climate system including physical, chemical and biological

• UK Climate Projections (UKCP18)

  The UK Climate Projections (UKCP18) provides a comprehensive set of climate model projections for the UK, showing how the climate is likely to change in the future.

  Please be aware we are introducing UK Climate Information (UKCI) - a new national climate service being developed to support climate adaptation decision-making across the UK. UKCP18 remains the recommended and validated national climate dataset, so users should continue to use its data, guidance

• Sea ice in the climate system

  Arctic sea ice is a sensitive indicator of climate change and changes to the sea ice cover can have potential implications for the Arctic region and beyond.

  Found in both the Arctic and Antarctic, sea ice regulates heat exchange between the ocean and atmosphere, supports polar ecosystems, and serves as a sensitive indicator of climate change. Sea ice forms in high-latitude regions where winter darkness and cold temperatures allow the ocean to freeze

• State of the Global Climate: 2017

  The annual state of the Climate report highlights 2017 as one of the top three warmest years on record.

  An international analysis of the global climate of 2017 has been published in the annual report, ‘State of the Climate in 2017’ released yesterday by the American Meteorological Society. The report highlights that 2017 is among the top three warmest years for global temperature since records began

This marine heatwave persisted for 298 days, the longest on record for this region, with an average intensity of 2°C (Iskandar et al., 2021). Precipitation has generally increased by around 0.2- 0.5mm/day per decade, although this trend
