Abstract

As computing power has increased, it has become possible to run a state-of-the-art climate model on a workstation,
and the use of climate models is spreading rapidly. However, the dispersion of climate modeling know-how has not kept
pace with the dispersion of climate modeling capabilities. To connect new modelers with modeling know-how, a two-
week climate modeling workshop was held. Participants designed and ran climate experiments under the guidance of a
group of modeling experts. This paper describes the process that was followed in these climate experiments and gives
an example of one experiment.
