  2. High Resolution Model development Scientific Goals: Simulated variability and predictability is likely a function of the model Developing improved models (higher resolution, improved physics, reduced bias) is crucial for studies of variability and predictability Explore ocean’s role in climate variability and change using a high resolution coupled model. New global coupled models: CM2.4, CM2.5, CM2.6 2

  3. Observed rainfall GFDL CM2.1 2° Atmosphere 1° Ocean

  7. Weather <--> Climate Connection • Improved regional forecast capabilities of U.S. temperatures and precipitation from a week to a season. • Climate prediction capabilities for high-impact events, including droughts and major floods. • Enhanced data sets and analyses to identify and interpret weather-climate connections between the tropics and mid-latitudes. • Improve understanding and predictions of connections between climate variations and high impact weather phenomena (droughts, floods)‏
