Co-organized by: Working Group on Numerical Experimentation (WGNE)
Motivation: - Representation of subgrid processes is key in weather/climate models - Workshop will be a uniquely focused international meeting - WCRP-WWRP survey clouds, convection, air-sea + air-land interaction - WCRP-WWRP survey guides the organization of workshop
Goals: - To focus on long-standing issues in model physics development - To develop strategies to solve these problems - Not only scientific – but also organizational/institutional strategies - Produce and publish recommendations
Workshop Structure
• Day 1 – Tuesday, 20 March: High-Latitude Physics • Day 2 – Wednesday, 21 March: Tropical Weather and Climate • Day 3 – Thursday, 22 March: Clouds and Climate Physics • Day 4 – Friday, 23 March: Plenary session + recommendations
Three multidisciplinary thematic sessions – one per day:
Mornings dedicated to presentations
3 invited 1 hour talks per day
Afternoons for break-out sessions + poster sessions
Evening discussion sessions
Morning of last (4th) day dedicated to break-out presentations
Early Afternoon of last (4th) day – plenary session, recommendations
• High-Latitude Physics Presentation 1: Anton Beljaars (ECMWF) Presentation 2: Marika Holland (NCAR) Presentation 3: Michael Tjernstrom (MISU)
• Tropical Weather and Climate Presentation 1: Harry Hendon (BMRC) Presentation 2: David Neelin (UCLA) Presentation 3: David Randall (CSU)

Invited Speakers
Topics for break-out sessions: • Field experiments in parameterization development • LES models in parameterization development • Satellite observations in parameterization development • Ensemble prediction and stochastic physics • Model evaluation and model physics • Global high-resolution models • Physics in simple climate models • Physics and the weather prediction problem • Physics and the climate prediction problem
Topics for evening sessions: - Strategies for model physics development - Institutional support of model physics development - Careers in model physics development
Logistic Issues:
Poster sessions? Where and how? Workshop dinner with 200 people…? Where? Registration fee (for refreshments and dinner)? How to organize 3 breakout groups per day with 200 people?
