Regional and Global Climate Modeling Program: Modes of Low Frequency Variability in a Changing Climate: The Office of Biological and Environmental Research (BER) of the Office of Science (SC), U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), hereby announces its interest in receiving applications for research grants on the topic of Modes of Low Frequency Variability in a Changing Climate under the Regional and Global Climate Modeling (RGCM) program. Simulation of global and large-scale features of climate change has improved considerably over the past decade; nevertheless climate and earth system models do not yet accurately simulate major modes of low frequency climate variability, e.g., the Pacific Decadal Variability (PDV), Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO), and the North Atlantic Oscillation. How natural climate variability interacts and modulates future climate change is a topic of intense debate in the research community. High risk, high pay-off research ideas that explore innovative new directions that further the understanding of the modes of low frequency variability are encouraged; they should clearly describe how the proposed ideas have the potential to lead to breakthroughs in modeling of climate at global and regional scales.
