Third annual U.S. Climate Modeling Summit and Arctic Modeling Workshop

5036392751_f437dc4783_o

Leads from the Nation’s six major climate modeling centers will meet for the third year in a row to work toward developing a common national climate modeling strategy. Through annual discussions drawing on the centers’ complementary strengths, the U.S. Climate Modeling Summit (USCMS) has the potential to substantially improve our country’s modeling and prediction capabilities. The third USCMS builds upon the outcomes of the previous two years by identifying priority activities for the coming year and targeting several key themes: Arctic science and predictions, subseasonal to seasonal predictability, model intercomparison projects, and next generation high performance computing for weather and climate. 

In support of the Arctic theme, modeling center scientists will meet with other experts for a one-day Arctic Modeling Workshop prior to the USCMS. Workshop attendees will discuss Arctic modeling successes, weaknesses, and needs, and reported findings at the USCMS. NOAA’s Climate Program Office Modeling, Analysis, Predictions, and Projections Program contributed substantially to both events.

NASA will host the Arctic Modeling Workshop and USCMS on June 26 and 27, respectively, in Washington, DC.
