Description:
"The Climate Model Development Task Force (CMDTF; 2014-2017) was formed to bring together representatives from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) laboratories, the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP), and Climate Process Teams research centers and other projects funded by the NOAA Modeling, Analysis, Prediction and Projections (MAPP) program, with an interest in furthering the coupled modeling capability for sub-seasonal to seasonal and longer time scale prediction. The CMDTF provided a platform to discuss model development efforts and best practices. The CMDTF made contributions to the planning process including defining requirements for the transition from operations to research (O2R) and for future model configurations and output, and defining metrics and a test harness for evaluation of climate models and climate predictions. A number of the projects that were engaged in the CMDTF contributed to designing and developing subgrid-scale and land surface process representations, component models, coupling infrastructure, and multi-model combination strategies. The CMDTF served the functions of both keeping the diverse projects in these categories informed of progress and findings as well as stimulating collaboration among these projects"--Executive summary.
