AR5 Science Workshop (03 Oct 2008)
An AR5 Science Workshop is being held at the NASA/Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York City. The workshop will focus on how to improve the science coming out of the multi-model databases being prepared for the Intergovernmental Panel and Climate Change (IPCC) Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) and the existing CMIP3 database.
Topics for discussion will include methods for weighting multi-model ensembles, improvements in database services (including data distribution/documentation/access), the new paradigms for standard experiments included in the AR5 specifications, and the leverage of the CMIP3 experience to inform ongoing model development.
