The following pages summarize the work completed to date in the second year of the Research Project on CO{sub 2}-Induced Climate Change which is funded by the Department of Energy. The three major areas of study are discussed separately. The first task deals with an intercomparison of general circulation model capabilities with the aim of improving their parameterizations of important physical processes, so that model predictions of CO{sub 2} induced climate change become more reliable. Task 2 encompasses analysis of climate data for the purpose of understanding climate change and climate variability. The third task is concerned with analyzing climatic variability in General Circulation Models and its comparison with observations.
