Implementation

3. Implementation: how to make rapid progress:

- Do present RF address the “obstacles to progress”? 

- Programmatic environment:

• CLIVAR: cross-CLIVAR linkages and implementation
• WCRP: Relationship to & interaction with (1) the planned GC on Near Term Prediction; (2) Relevant CMIP 6 MIPS; (3) Partner Projects eg CliC, SPARC, GEWEX, PAGES

- Other implementation activities: WG interactions; Workshops and conferences?

4. Meeting Wrap Up

- Finalizing the DCVP RF Science Plan: writing assignments

- Preparation of workshop report/publication and a CLIVAR Exchanges Special Issue
