Purpose: The Center for Climate System Research was established in order to promote research activities in climate system by using climate models and to provide facilities for the collaborative utilization by investigators in this research field in national universities throughout Japan.
Types of Establishment: Institution for national collaborative utilization.
Date of Establishment: April 12, 1991
Processes of Establishment : The Geodesy Council proposed a need for planning of a research organization focused on the climate system in March 1989 and then a specific plan was studied the Science Council of Japan. Meanwhile, "Studies on variations of global environment with a central target in Asian Pacific Regions" was approved as a priority research project in the "New Program" proposed by the Science Council in July 1989 and it was recommended that the Center for Climate System Research shouldbe established in order to promote this research project.
