Variability is one of the characteristic features of polar geoecosystems. On the meso- and macro-time scales, the variability of geoecosystems can be expressed in relation to : irregular interannual changes, multi-year cyclic changes, year-to-year
directional changes and anthropogenic changes. Polish multidisciplinary research concerning the physical, chemical and biological processes in the region of Admiralty Bay (King George Island, South Shetland Islands) demonstrates such variability.

The interannualvariability in warm-season soil-moisture deficits were examined for the Southern United States from 1895-2005. Moisture deficit values are computed using the Thornthwaite/Mather water budget technique. Five soil-moisture deficit
regions were identified, each has a distinct pattern and magnitude of deficit. No long-term trends were evident but considerable interannualvariability is observed. The role of atmospheric indices on affecting deficits, precipitation, and potential

The aim of this paper is to analyze the interannualvariability which characterizes the late-winter surface air temperature in mid-latitude Europe, 45-60°N, and discuss its causes. The AA. analyze the interannualvariability at its extreme
biome and show the sensitivity of different vegetation systems to rainfall, a variable that may change in quantity and variability with projected climate change. Such data also show regions of high levels of carbon that could be linked with savanna

The AA. examine trends in interannual precipitation variability over the past century for the United States. A variety of statistical methods are applied to the time series, and they consistently find upward trends (most are statistically
significant) in seasonal variability. Although strong spatial gradients or clusters do not appear in the trend values, trends toward increasing variability were substantially higher in the low-sun season than in the high-sun season. Their results from
the United States provide empirical support for the many modeling studies simulating an increase in precipitation variability given continued global warming.

The spatial and temporal variability of primary productivity in the China seas from 2003 to 2005 was estimated using a size-fractionated primary productivity model. Primary productivity estimated from satellite-derived data showed spatial

The vulnerability of the renewable energy industry to climate variability and change has become patently obvious with severe weather (droughts, heat waves, harsh winters) creating energy crises in various parts of the globe in recent years
. Consequently, the urgent need to forecast energy supply and demand has fuelled an interest in climate variability and climate forecasting at the seasonal and inter-annual scales.
