  1. CAVIAR – Continuum Absorption by Visible and Infrared Radiation and its Atmospheric Relevance Status Keith Shine Department of Meteorology, University of Reading September 2010

  2. Reminder of Overall Schedule • Formal start of CAVIAR: 1 October 2006 • Original end date: 30 September 2010 • New end date: 30 June 2011 • Most CAVIAR PDRA’s and PhD’s will finish in late 2010/early 2011 • Final report due: 29 September 2011 • We are now roughly at month 48 (“frame of reference” depends on when students and PDRAs started)

  3. Reminder of structure 1 Rough Guide: Green: On original schedule Amber: Somewhat behind original schedule Red: Limited activity so far possible existing continuum models existing spectral line databases dimer model development Instrument upgrades and calibration line-by-line radiative transfer models targeted lab measurements dimer model refinement field campaigns refinement of line database synthesis new continuum model impact on understanding of atmospheric processes, incl climate and remote sensing preparation of continuum model for community use

  4. Reminder of Structure 2

  5. Reminder of original schedule We are hear(ish)!

  6. Royal Society Meeting • Led by Jonathan Tennyson • “Water in the gas phase” (both atmospheric science and astrophysics) • 13 to 14 June 2011 at the Royal Society’s new out-of-town Kavli Centre in Buckinghamshire • Good representation of CAVIAR speakers and will lead to special issue of Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society

  7. Key things for today • How close are we to being able to perform a synthesis of theory, lab and field measurements for the CAVIAR continuum? • What are plans for papers? • What further meetings do we need to provide consolidation of our achievements?
