This is an archive for the PanAmerican Climate Studies (PACS)

"... to extend the scope and improve the skill of operational climate prediction over the Americas on the seasonal and longer time scales."


Why have an archive for a program after it is over? There are many figures and analyses associated with the PACS program that are still correct and can serve as useful resource material. An example of this are the short contributions.
