Circulars and Program

The agenda for this meeting of the Terrestrial Working Group is two-fold. The first aim is to bring the working group up to speed on the progress that the I.F. team has made in developing methods and protocols for coupling modules, as well as to provide an overview of how to modify your own code so that it can be integrated into the CSDMS framework. The second aim is to make progress on three fronts:

1. completing the process of “domain and model scoping” that we began at last year’s meeting, possibly leading to a review paper;
2. identifying, developing, adding, and linking model components (including outlining methods for handling issues such as moving boundaries); and
3. identifying existing data sets, and criteria for future data sets, that can be used for testing models and providing proof-of-concept applications.

The Terrestrial Working Group will meet for 2 days. Please revisit this website for a detailed agenda.
