Abstract
The Workshop on Regional Climate Research: Needs and Opportunities was held 2–4 April 2001 at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, Boulder, Colorado. The workshop was cosponsored by the National Science Foundation and the Department of Energy with the goals to 1) assess current approaches used in downscaling; 2) inform program managers of the status of regional climate research; and 3) define a future path for regional climate research. The workshop was organized into five sessions with presentations and discussion to address issues related to the regional climate problem, global climate modeling, statistical and dynamical downscaling, data and model diagnostics and validation, and downscaling applications. Sixty-eight invited participants attended the workshop from the U.S. and international research community. This report summarizes the presentations and discussion of the workshop and highlights the recommendations derived from the meeting. Important general recommendations include the...
