Recent changes to CCSM staff
Impacts of these changes
Direction of the CCSM SE Group (CSEG)
Allocation to development, science, support
Prioritization method for existing projects
Is the current arrangement sustainable?
If not, what should we change/drop?

3. Staff Changes in 2004 CSEG (net = -1): CMS (net = -2): CGD (net = 0):
Departure of CSEG head Tony Craig
Replacement of Tony by Tom Henderson
Replacement of CAM SE with Brian Eaton
Departure of CSEG head Tom Henderson
Replacement of Tom by Mariana Vertenstein
CMS (net = -2):
Departure of Jim Rosinski, last NSF core-$ SE
Departure of Jim McCaa, AMWG liaison
CGD (net = 0):
0.5 FTE liaisons for CVWG, PaleoWG)
Reduction in support for OS
Addition of SE to CSEG for BGCWG (SciDAC $$$)?

4. Impacts of these Changes
Temporary reduction in AMWG support
Reduction in SE support for CMS:
Code development
Numerical methods
Atmospheric dynamics
Reduction in SE support for TSS work on:
Isotopes
Land cover change
River routing
Hydrology
High resolution land model

5. CSEG: Allocation of Effort
Details on CSEG efforts:
Overall:
50% in a more useful model
40% in community support
10% in a more complete model
0% in a more accurate model
This is the wrong job mix!!
