Caribbean Climate Models Calendar 2016

The 2016 Caribbean Climate Models Calendar profiles some of the region’s leading climate scientists and the impact that their research is making on the Caribbean and across the globe.

The calendar also features groundbreaking climate products  offered by the Caribbean Institute for Meteorology and Hydrology (CIMH), through the Caribbean Regional Climate Centre (RCC)  to build climate capacity in the region.

Our hope is that the calendar will raise awareness of the scientists, what they are researching, why there is a need for their research and what they are learning about Caribbean climate. We also aim to raise awareness of CIMH’s RCC climate products and the role that they play in informing risk-based decision-making in climate-sensitive sectors at the national and regional levels across the Caribbean.

Background

The Caribbean Climate Models Calendar is based on the 2014 Climate Models Calendar, created by Francesco Fiondella from Columbia University’s International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI) and Rebecca Fowler from the Foundation for Earth Sciences (FES) formerly of the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO).

The 2016 Caribbean Climate Models Calendar was produced through the Building Regional Climate Capacity in the Caribbean (BRCCC) Programme, funded by the generous support of the American people, through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The programme is delivered by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and implemented by the Caribbean Institute for Meteorology and Hydrology (CIMH).
