Plans, 1 of 2 • 8 deliverables and 4 milestones for RT5in next 18 months • Will see the start of more regional work when gridded observational dataset for Europe and RCM simulations become available • Stress that good access to all data is essential ! ENSEMBLES General AssemblyLund, Sweden, 22 November 2006
Plans, 2 of 2 • Extremes discussion: mismatch betweenhigh-impact extremes and statistically defined extremes • Participate in upcoming meetings: • joint RT4/5/8 extremes workshopRiederalp, 29 Jan- 2 Feb, 2007 • 3rd WGNE workshop on systematic errors in climate and NWP models, San Francisco, Feb 12-16, 2007 • joint RT4/5/CFMIP meeting, Paris, Apr 11-13, 2007 • EGU, Vienna, 15-20 Apr • …more on ENSEMBLES website… ENSEMBLES General AssemblyLund, Sweden, 22 November 2006
