Abstract	CLIVAR is an international research programme dealing with climate variability and predictability on timescales from months to centuries. Editorial I am grateful to Penny Holliday and Sheldon Bacon for acting as guest editors for this edition of Exchanges which, as you will see, is joint with ICES. Penny and Sheldon provide some background to ICES in a short article on page 2 as an introduction to the articles which follow. In addition to the ICES articles, we also include accounts of the recent meetings of CLIVAR's Southern Ocean Region and Global Synthesis and Observation Panels and of the joint CLIVAR/CCl/JCOMM Expert Team on Climate Change Detection and Indices. The start of 2007 has seen some important changes for CLIVAR. Tony Busalacchi has now stepped down as co-chair after 4 years in that position and some 10 years as a member of the CLIVAR SSG overall. We are indeed most grateful to Tony for all the guidance he has provided for CLIVAR over the years. I am pleased to note that he now joins the Joint Scientific Committee for WCRP, so we will continue to have the benefit of his inputs to CLIVAR, if in a different guise. Thanks again, Tony. Welcome now to Jim Hurrell who has now joined Tim Palmer as SSG co-chair. Jim, whose work will be well known to many, is the Director of the Climate and Global Dynamics Division at NCAR, USA, and a Senior Scientist within the Climate Analysis Section. His research interests include climate variability and anthropogenic climate change and he has contributed to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) assessments. I'm sure that all of us associated with CLIVAR look forward to working with Jim over the coming years. Finally I would also like to welcome a new staff member to the ICPO, Anna Pirani, whose background is in ocean modeling. Anna, who started with us in the New Year, will provide support to CLIVAR's modeling working groups and to the CLIVAR/PAGES intersection. We are indeed very pleased to have her on board as a member of the ICPO staff. 2 The International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) was established in 1902 to " promote and encourage research ... for the study of the sea, particularly the living resources thereof " , with a focus on the North Atlantic and adjacent seas. It is a regional, intergovernmental organisation, and …
