US CLIVAR SSC Meeting Silver Spring, MD January 9-10, 2012
Purpose, Scope and Outcomes The US CLIVAR SSC is meeting to launch a two-year effort to draft, edit and publish a new Science (and Implementation) Plan to guide climate research directions over the coming decade and beyond. To inform the planning effort, we will explore: • funding agency interests and needs, • changing international and national program directions and priorities, and • progress achieved over the past 15 years toward stated goals/objectives • priority research topics and science questions framing the future program In light of this information, we will begin to: • determine the scope and presentation format of the Plan • develop a timeline and set of activities necessary to develop the Plan • capture key discussion points and draft content for the Plan During the planning process, the SSC should endeavor to engage broader research community input and review
