Jim Hurrell, Senior Scientist

Research

I am a senior scientist within the Climate Analysis Section, at NCAR. My research interests include climate variability and anthropogenic climate change. I have contributed to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) assessments, and I am actively involved in the international research program on Climate Variability and Predictability (CLIVAR).
