Peter,
I'm racing back from IDAG to go somewhere else.
I'd be keen to be kept in the loop as it has links to one thing
I'm doing and is also linked to the UKCIP08 work.
Cheers
Phil

Dear All,
On the Monday following the IDAG meeting, that is 26 January, at NCAR
there is going be a meeting funded by the UK Foreign and Commonwealth
Office to discuss UK US collaboration on operational attribution. The
purpose of this meeting is to discuss the basic concept of operational
attribution and to set out the scientific challenges that need to be
addressed for such an operational capability to become reality. Such an
operational attribution system would be part of a wider "climate
services" capability providing information in near real time on weather
events, their causes and relationship with climate variability and
change, and forecasts for timescales from days to decades. There has
been activity on both sides of the Atlantic along along these lines and
the FCO have funded this gathering to facilitate further collaboration
with a specific outcome of the meeting being an outline of an article
for BAMS discussing and promoting these ideas. In addition, we hope the
meeting will facilitate a continuing program of work in this area.
Representatives from NCAR and NOAA including Kevin Trenberth and Marty
Hoerling as well as myself, Myles Allen and Simon Tett from the UK will
be participating.
While this meeting is a specific focused activity for a particular
funder and is not part of the annual IDAG meeting, anybody from IDAG
would be welcome to attend, although if you do want to attend the
meeting I'd be grateful if you could let me know. In addition anybody
who wishes to contribute will be very welcome to participate in our
proposed BAMS article. I will circulate the outcome of the meeting as
well as drafts of the BAMS article amongst IDAG members.
Best wishes for happy holidays and the New Year,
Peter
