GDAP-EEI Meeting
NCAR, Boulder, Colorado
Damon Room, Mesa Lab
The draft agenda for the meeting is below.
Location: Damon Room, Mesa Lab
Topic: Interactions within WCRP with CONCEPT-HEAT
CONCEPT HEAT – GDAP members welcome
http://www.clivar.org/research-foci/heat-budget
The CLIVAR research focus CONCEPT-HEAT (Consistency between planetary energy balance and ocean heat storage) is focused on Earth’s Energy Imbalance (EEI) and its largest component, the changes in ocean heat content (OHC). CONCEPT-HEAT aims to bring together experts from ocean and atmospheric reanalysis, air-sea fluxes, OHC, atmospheric radiation, sea level, and climate models to better synthesize all the information available. A goal is to foster collaboration among these different communities and build up a multi-disciplinary community to promote progress and an integrated view.
