M. Ghil and R. Temam, Predictive Understanding of the Oceans' Wind-Driven Circulation on Interdecadal Time Scales.

2) Sergey Kravtsov's talk on the 2nd project:

S. Kravtsov, A.W. Robertson, P. Smyth, and M. Ghil: "Decadal coupled variability in observations and models"

3) 1 poster of Michael's:

M. Ghil and R. Temam, Predictive Understanding of the Oceans' Wind-Driven Circulation on Interdecadal Time Scales.

4) A.W. Robertson, S. Krishner, and P. Smyth: "Downscaling of daily rainfall occurrence over NE Brazil using a hidden Markov model. How is predictable is weather-within-climate?", poster presented by Michael.

5) 2 posters presented by Sergey:

S. Kravtsov, W.K. Dewar, P. Berlo ff, J.C.McWilliams, and M. Ghil: "Eddy-driven interdecadal variability in a coupled model of mid-latitude climate"
