[Fwd: Plans for CFMIP-2]From William CollinsDate December 19, 2007 KT members: Attached please find the email from Mark Webb regarding the plans for CFMIP. Bill From: Mark Webb <mark.webb@metoffice.gov.uk> Date: August 15, 2007 10:23:17 AM MDT To: BONY Sandrine <Sandrine.Bony@lmd.jussieu.fr> Cc: (deleted) Subject: Plans for CFMIP-2 Dear all, I am emailing you as a participant in CFMIP and/or the CFMIP/ENSEMBLES meeting in Paris earlier this year. Since the Paris meeting we have been working on our plans for CFMIP-2, drawing on the recommendations from that meeting, and from subsequent discussions. These are now detailed in a report which we will submit next week for consideration at the WGCM meeting in Hamburg on 3-5th September 2007 ( see http://www.clivar.org/organization/wgcm/wgcm.php ) The report is available at http://cfmip.metoffice.com/cfmip2, or can be found from the front page of www.cfmip.net. It contains a two page summary of key issues for consideration by WGCM, as well as a detailed description of our plans for CFMIP-2. If you have any comments specific to the recommendations we are making to WGCM, we'd appreciate receiving them by the end of this week or by Monday at the latest. We'd also welcome comments on our broader plans, which will continue to evolve over the coming months. If you are at a modelling institution, we'd also appreciate it if you could ensure that your WGCM representative is aware of your views on our plans ahead of the meeting. The WGCM members are listed at on the WGCM website above. thanks for your help. Mark Webb Dear participant to the CFMIP/ENSEMBLES workshop, Thank you very much again for your active participation in the Paris CFMIP/ENSEMBLES workshop! Jean-Louis, Mark and I hope that you enjoyed the meeting and the discussions as much as we enjoyed them. We think that the meeting has been extremely valuable to shape the emerging CFMIP-GCSS and CFMIP-ENSEMBLES collaborations, and it will contribute a lot to the definition of CFMIP-2 (we will start writting the CFMIP-2 proposal in the next few weeks). The workshop showed that we can keep talking about clouds for three days without making them appear too much in the sky. For those who are not convinced that April in Paris always looks like that, we will be happy to repeat the experiment for another meeting! We would like to make the workshop presentations available online on the CFMIP website. If you wish to make any modification in your presentation before it is posted on the Web, please feel free to do it and send us a revised version as soon as possible. After May 20, unless you tell us that you prefer your presentation not to been made available online, we will use the version we currently have on the workshop's laptop (if your presentation had not been put on this laptop, please send it to us). Thank you again for your contribution to the workshop, and see you another time for another workshop on cloud feedbacks!
