The second-year meeting of the Research Themes 1 and 2A of the EU-funded integrated project ENSEMBLES will be held on the 8th and 9th June 2006.

Objectives

The Research Themes RT1 and RT2A deal with the generation and production of the global ensemble integrations for seasonal, decadal and longer timescales. The meeting will consider the status of these integrations, the goals achieved to that date and the plans for the third year of the project. Aspects that will be addressed are: development of Earth system models, approaches to deal with model uncertainty at different time scales, formulation of multi-model probabilistic predictions, results from the recent IPCC AR4, model data dissemination, etc.

Meeting structure

The workshop will be structured in i) opening overview talks from the RT1 & RT2A leaders plus invited talks by the RT2B, RT4 & RT7 leaders, ii) three parallel working groups for specific debate on seasonal-to-decadal predictions, centennial predictions and Earth System Models and iii) a final plenary session for joint discussions. See timetable for details.

The overview talks by the RT leaders depend crucially on the input from all contributing partners. Please send a selection of material you would like presented to either James Murphy (RT1) or Jean-Francois Royer (RT2A). Additionally, all partners are invited to bring posters to present their work. The suggested poster format is A1 portrait (594mm x 841mm).

Partners taking part in the Research Themes RT4 and RT5 are encouraged to attend the meeting to promote discussion on the achievement of a physically-based treatment of the use of observational constraints in probabilistic climate prediction.

Registration

If you wish to attend the workshop, please register via email to Antje Weisheimer and Paco Doblas-Reyes indicating whether or not you are planning to prepare a poster and if so the title of the poster.
