Orientation The Process Study and Model Improvement (PSMI) Panel's mission is to reduce uncertainties in the general circulation models used for climate variability prediction and climate change projections through an improved understanding and representation of the physical processes governing climate and its variation

PSMI reviews two types of program Climate Process Teams (CPTs) – CPTs aim to link climate modeling and process research communities to improve process parameterizations deemed high-priority for coupled climate models Process studies – Field and observational synthesis projects aimed at improving our fundamental understanding of climate-critical processes

CPT practices and motivating questions – the big picture Scientists and agencies saw a problem with the rate at which new process understanding was being translated into improvements in climate model physics Need to break down walls between process and climate modeling communities CPTs instigated to attempt to break down walls and instigate collaborations and a new way of making progress

Current CPT projects Internal wave ocean mixing CPT (Jen MacKinnon) Stratocumulus to cumulus transition CPT (Roberto Mechoso) Arctic Ocean mixing CPT (Meibing Jin) Cloud parameterization and aerosol indirect effects CPT (Rob Wood) Pilot CPT projects ( /8) Low-Latitude Cloud Feedbacks on Climate Sensitivity Ocean Eddy Mixed Layer Interactions Ocean Gravity Current Entrainment

Best practices for model parameterization development Are there universal procedures/approaches that can be applied to succeed in more effective translation of new process understanding into models? Are there fundamental procedural differences between adding a new process into a model (e.g. aerosols) vs improving existing physics (e.g. clouds or ocean mixing)? What are the metrics for success? Which CPTs were successful?

Breakout agenda 1315 – 1345: Internal wave ocean mixing CPT (Jen MacKinnon) 1345 – 1415: Sc to Cu transition CPT (Roberto Mechoso) 1415 – 1445: Arctic Ocean mixing CPT (Meibing Jin) : Break 1500 – 1530: Cloud param. & aerosol indirect effects CPT (Rob Wood) 1530 –1600: General discussion on CPTs. Successes, pitfalls, lessons 1600 – 1620: Trace gas measurements (Christian Frankenberg) : KESS (Meghan Cronin via telephone) 1640 – 1700: CLIMODE (Leif Thomas) 1700 – 1720: DYNAMO (Chidong Zhang)
