TASK THREE: Orange Cards Why is it important to have high-resolution climate information to you, in your work? Discuss as a group, and agree on top 3 answers Write answers on 3 orange cards, one idea per card Please number the cards. It will make Joe happy. Because he has to sort them.
TASK THREE: Why are we doing this? Why is it important to have high-resolution climate information to you, in your work? Water supply assessment Connecting spatial scale of physical processes, orography and impacts to climate information Helps us improve scientific understanding of model credibility and better resolve physical processes How important IS this information anyways? Are we all wasting our time? Ecological assessment
TASK FOUR: Green Cards What do you want to get out of this workshop and/or process? Each person individually write thoughts on 1 green card After writing, discuss with group Merge common ideas to come up with top 2-3 outcomes

How do we build on this foundation (programmatic)? What’s a balance between downscaling vs. coupled model (global model) simulations? Community tool for model evaluation & linking with impact assessment models What are the end users looking for?? What should modellers provide? Not just data: translation also. And, what could help their colleagues?
