Welcome Address and Setting the Stage |
Keating & Zuber |
|
The Co-Chairs of the Task Force will introduce the objectives for the workshop and discuss how the results will influence the overall plan of working towards a 2009 assessment report. |
| Lessons Learned from Previous Work |
Dentener |
| The presentations in this session will describe some previous model evaluation and intercomparison efforts and will identify lessons that are available to be learned about 1) the intercontinental transport of air pollutants and 2) the methods and tasks involved in model evaluation and intercomparison. |

Identifying Key Issues for Intercomparison and Assessment |
Zuber |
| This session will consist of a series of discussions of issues raised in the background paper. Each discussion will be proceeded by an presentation that will provide an overview of the topic and suggested conclusions or recommendations. The presenter will then lead a open discussion of the issues, attempting to identify where there is consensus and where there are diverging views that will need to be discussed further. Issues that need to be discussed further will be assigned to breakout groups on Tuesday morning. |

Breakout Sessions: Resolving Key Issues (Objective 1) |
|
The objective of the first set of breakout sessions are to come to consensus on recommendations regarding methodology for quantifying source-receptor relationships and evaluating model performance. The product of these sessions will be recommendations that will be distributed to the modeling community to help facilitate the generation and publication of more comparable results. |

Breakout Sessions: Organizing Future Work (Objectives 2-3) |
|
The objective of the second set of breakout sessions are to begin to prioritize and organize collaborative tasks or studies addressing the questions of interest using the recommended methods. The product of these sessions will be a list of tasks or studies to be undertaken, a list of task or study leaders and participants. |

Plenary Session: Developing a Work Plan (Objective 4) |
Keating & Zuber |
|
This session will begin with reports from each of the breakout sessions and further discussion of these conclusions or outcomes. A timeline will be constructed identifying what results can be achieved by when to inform the plan for the 2009 assessment. A plan for coordinating future work will be discussed. |
