Terms of Reference
propose a working definition of drought and related model predictands of drought
coordinate evaluations of existing relevant model simulations
suggest new experiments (coupled and uncoupled) designed to address some of the outstanding uncertainties mentioned above
coordinate and encourage the analysis of observational data sets to reveal antecedent linkages of multi-year drought
organize a community workshop to present and discuss the results.
