Abstract

PICES Working Group on Evaluations of Climate Change Projections (WG 20) was approved at the 2006 PICES Annual Meeting (PICES-2006) in Yokohama, Japan. In short, though WG 20 was successful in meeting most of its terms of reference over its short 4-year timeframe, the work that it began is continuing though other PICES expert groups and can be expected to play an important role in the second PICES integrative scientific program, FUTURE (Forecasting and Understanding Trends, Uncertainty and Responses of North Pacific Marine Ecosystems). its short 4-year timeframe, the work that it began is continuing though other PICES expert groups and can be expected to play an important role in the second PICES integrative scientific program, FUTURE (Forecasting and Understanding Trends, Uncertainty and Responses of North Pacific Marine Ecosystems).
