15 February 2001: We have now completed our initial survey of the
climate system. We move now to material covering the structure of the global
spectral model dynamical core, followed by the physical basis and execution
of selected model parameterizations.
Tuesday 13 and Thursday 15 March 2001: Summary papers submitted and
presentations on
climate
model parameterizations given.
Dr Bob
