Paleoclimate Model Working Group Overview
On May 15-17, 1996, NCAR sponsored a workshop in Breckenridge,
Colorado to inform the community on the status of the Climate System
Model (CSM) and make plans for the future directions of the model. At this
workshop, it was agreed to organize a Paleoclimate Working Group. The role
of this working group is: (1) to identify paleoclimate simulations that will
require large amounts of Climate Simulation Laboratory (CSL) computing
time and/or are of broad interest to the community, (2) propose
improvements to the models needed for paleoclimate applications, and (3)
provide feedback to the CSM group based both on analyses of collaborative
simulations done under the auspices of the working group and sensitivity
simulations performed by individual researchers. Periodic workshops will be
scheduled to enhance interactions among the paleoclimate community and
the CSM group.
