CPT for Atmospheric Deep Convection
CCSM/Atm Modeling Working Group
Good discussion forum for bringing global modelers together
Limited participation from process scientists
Limited time for interaction/democratic
Few dedicated resources for interaction
GEWEX Cloud System Study WG2/ARM
Emphasizes intercomparison rather than detailed diagnostics
Limited participation from major modeling groups
ARM support requires focus on ARM observations - may or may not address most pressing problems
Large, cumbersome groups make for slow progress
