POLICY BRIEF No. 1
Strengthening Local Meteorological Services To Improve Disaster Preparedness
Sustained Caribbean focused climate variability and change research for the past 31 years
Climate Studies Group Mona
The Climate Studies Group Mona was formed in 1994 to explore Caribbean climate and the ocean and atmospheric influences that modulate how the climate manifests. The CSGM has developed statistical models using historical weather data to represent the patterns observed. The work has been expanded to examine historical and future climate change and the potential impacts on the lives and livelihoods of the Caribbean.

Our Research Mandate
Since its inception in 1994, the Climate Studies Group Mona (CSGM), within the Department of Physics at the University of the West Indies, has been involved in ground-breaking Caribbean-centred climate research. CSGM's research mandate falls within four main areas:
Mean and extreme climate and their associated mechanisms
Prediction of climate on an annual and interannual time-scale
Climate change and its impacts
Renewable energy prospects
