EMIC WORKSHOP, 20-21 February, 2006, Melbourne -- Aim
A Workshop On Earth System Models Of Intermediate Complexity
Aim of the Workshop
Australia possesses capability in the area of palaeoclimate modelling, but efforts to understand our past natural climate variations are hampered by the computational profligacy of many climate system models. Intermediate complexity models allow experiments that take account of long time scales while maintaining important climate system interactions.
This workshop aims to:- assess and document the current status of Australian palaeoclimatic modelling activities.
- develop and enhance international linkages to enhance our ability to address problems of importance to Australian natural climate variability.
- provide guidance for the palaeodata community on outstanding needs for palaeoclimate modeling.
