WCRP Modelling Coordination Meeting
The purpose of this meeting is to follow-up on the recommendations of the World Modelling Summit and actions resulting from the latest JSC meeting in Antalya (Turkey), on the subject of modelling. The JSC discussed at length the formation of a WCRP Modelling Council in the context of WCRP visioning and future directions to carry out the following functions:
- Promoting the confrontation of models with observations and results of process studies;
- Promoting collaboration amongst various climate science communities (includes numerical weather prediction (NWP), seasonal to interannual prediction and climate projection communities as well as those dealing with biogeochemistry, air quality, terrestrial ecology, etc.);
- Promoting application of models to problems of societal relevance, quantifying uncertainties and making sure they are well communicated and understood;
- Promoting the model development and improvements.
- Role and terms of engagement for the WCRP Modelling Council
In order to facilitate depth discussions, this workshop is by invitation only.
