The foci of the workshop are twofold. First, to discuss the forcing as used in the ongoing 50-year and upcoming 100-year runs. Secondly, to outline AOMIP's main research direction for the next 5-year period.

Session 3: Publications -2

13:00-14:00
Paper discussion, structure of special section, paper review and submission procedures

Session 4: Mini-Draft of Proposal for Upcoming Five-Year Plan of AOMIP within IARC

14:00 -15:00
All meet. Define IARC proposal theme. Define AOMIP contribution within that theme. Define sub-topics (e.g., broken down either as physical-process (e.g., tides) or modeling-approach (ocean model, fully-coupled model etc.).

15:00-15:30
Break into groups of two. Each subgroup is as assigned a focus area (based on previous 1-hour discussion). Each group brainstorms to identify any possibility-plausible activity that the AOMIP team could make to the assigned focus area.

15:30-16:00
All meet. Each subgroup shares their brainstorming results to the whole group which either accepts or rejects these ideas.

16:00-17:00
Return into subgroups and write a one-page summary document of what AOMIP can do in the assigned focus area. Distribute write-ups to everyone.

Session 5: 100-year coordinated model experiment discussions

09:00 - 12:00
Presentation by Bill LArge (NCAR) on teh CORE forcing data set.

12:00-13:00 - Lunch

Session 6: Mini-Draft of Proposal for Upcoming Five-Year Plan of AOMIP within IARC

13:00-14:00
All meet. Recap the previous day write-ups. Critique each subgroups write-up.

14:00-15:00
Subgroups reform. Define performance metrics (i.e., published papers by who and when). Documents are rewritten.

15:00 -16:00
All meet. Final summary document describing how AOMIP will contribute to IARC's 'natural versus anthropogenic theme'.

Session 7: Internal AOMIP discussions
16:00-17:00
