-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Under Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere
requested the NOAA Science Advisory Board (SAB) to establish a standing
working group to provide scientific advice and broad direction NOAA's
climate program in the context of both national and international
activities. The Climate Working Group (CWG) focuses on the broad
research and operational components of the climate program as well as
on the underlying observations and data management issues. The CWG
assists NOAA's climate programs in establishing plans, reviewing
progress, and setting priorities on a continuing basis. As the terms of
current members end, additional members are needed and the SAB is
soliciting nominations for four vacancies.
DATES: Nominations must be received October 27, 2008.
ADDRESSES: Nominations should be submitted electronically to
noaa.sab.climate@noaa.gov.

working group can be found on the NOAA Science Advisory Board website

12July07.pdf. At this time, the SAB is soliciting nominations for four
vacancies in the following areas of expertise relating to climate
science: Ocean circulation/dynamics, ocean observations, atmospheric
dynamics, atmospheric space-based observations, decision support,
paleoclimate, and land surface/hydrology modeling. The intent is to
select from the suggested candidates, however, the SAB retains the
prerogative to name members to the working group who were not nominated
if it deems this necessary to achieve the desired balance. Once
