There is a multi-century history of research on natural decadal climate variability (DCV) and attempts to predict it, and there is a substantial amount of evidence of DCV impacts on society, largely associated with decadal droughts. Natural Decadal Climate Variability aims to bring together in one resource all available information worldwide and help scientists carrying out new research using climate and impacts data. The last chapter of Natural Decadal Climate Variability will have recommendations for future research and applications.
