Hope all is well. WGCM is meeting this coming week. I think you won't be attending the meeting but I saw Gabi's name on the list of participants. At the last ETCCDI meeting, we've discussed that we should provide advice to WGCM on indices that should be calculated on a possible effort of model runs to the next IPCC. We surely won't have time to provide a proper input to WGCM now (I apologise for not starting this email exchange earlier). However I think we should send them a message saying that we're startin g this discussions and will feed them during inter-sessions. If they want to propose something in the meantime, I think this would be ok. Perhaps Gabi could take this message to WGCM? Your thoughts on this are welcome.
