Download the Workshop Agenda

The aim of this meeting is to synthetize our current state of knowledge on the sources of predictability arising from the large-scale climate for marine ecosystems, or their physical drivers, along the coasts of the North Pacific rim. During the meeting we aim to compare and contrast the sources of predictability on the two sides of the Pacific, identify the most effective mechanisms leading to predictability, and gain insights from research in other parts of the World Ocean.
