Subject: [CCSM-Polar] CSSM Polar Climate WG Agenda 
Message-ID: <42AEE8F9.8010109@cgd.ucar.edu>

Polar Climate Working Group Agenda
CCSM 10th Annual Workshop
Tuesday, June 21, 2005
Breckenridge, CO
PCWG co-chairs:  Marika Holland and Elizabeth Hunke

Following a brief update on PCWG activities and a quick overview of our 
posters, we will have three presentations, the first from a researcher 
interested in quantifying uncertainty associated with sea ice in climate 
simulations.  The last two talks will be brainstorming sessions to 
understand polar climate change in the IPCC runs and sea ice biases in 
the finite volume experiments.  We encourage lively audience 
participation---bring your hypotheses!

4:00 PM  Welcoming remarks and PCWG business update
