As always, the Workshop will also provide an opportunity for participants to exchange information, ideas, and opinions. This year’s Workshop will focus on the following topics:

The Workshop is co-hosted by the Climate Prediction Center of the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP)/NOAA, Camp Springs, MD, and the Department of Meteorology of the Pennsylvania State University. The American Meteorological Society is a cooperating sponsor.

• a review and assessment of recent climate
• observed and predicted climate variability in Alaska and adjacent regions
• regional hydrologic variability and North American applications
• results from the North American Monsoon Experiment (NAME) field campaign and NAME modeling studies
• theoretical and practical predictability of the land, ocean and atmosphere
• long-term climate variability
• the impact of a changing climate on prediction

In addition, on 24-25 October the Workshop will feature several sessions summarizing activities of interest to the NOAA Climate Test Bed, including climate model assessments, multi-model ensembles and climate products and applications.

The Workshop will feature oral sessions consisting of selected presentations with ample time for discussion; the majority of presentations will be posters.
