Editor's Note

The purpose of this quarterly newsletter is to communicate news and views in a timely manner within the decadal climate variability and applications communities. Abstracts or shorter versions of recently published or to be published papers, and articles not intended to be published or can not be published about any aspect of decadal climate variability and its societal impacts will be published in "Subtle Signals". Opinion pieces, programmatic news, meeting summaries, and call-for-papers pertaining to decadal climate variability and its societal impacts will also be published in "Subtle Signals". Documents posted on DecVar in the previous quarter will be listed and linked.

The name "Subtle Signals" was chosen for this newsletter because decadal climate signals are subtle yet make a noticeable impact on society. Also, they appear to interact with interannual climate variability subtly and have the potential to subtly interfere in the detection and quantification of anthropogenic climate change.

Contributions should not be more than 2-3 pages of text (MS Word preferred) and 2-3 figures (JPEG or GIF preferred), and will be published without any change.
