Approach
Provide resources to forge teams of observational scientists, diagnostic scientists, process modelers, and (one or more) coupled model developers and data assimilation system developers to:
- Establish open pathways of communications
- Encourage active mechanisms for exchange of information (e.g. visiting programs)
- Focus on long-term interaction & deliverables (not necessarily manuscripts) that lead to demonstrated advances in climate modeling
CPTs are NOT:
- Business as usual...
- Just travel money for an annual meeting...
