From 28-30 November 2016, Arctic CORDEX will have a meeting hosted by Uni Research and the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research in Bergen, Norway.
Overall Workshop Objectives
The objective of this annual workshop is to present and discuss results from individual Arctic Cordex models, but also from the multi-model intercomparisons. Also, we will discuss the next steps of further joint analyses and individual simulations. The coupled modeling aspect is one particular highlight. Another topic linked to both scientific aims and user-communities are higher-resolution simulations. We aim for a better linkage to the WCRP Grand Challenges on Climate Extremes and Regional Climate Information. Associated with this we want to include stakeholder/user engagement in the discussion.

Discussion at the end of the day:
-Is there any commonality in these activities where collaboration can enhance the individual work?
-Is there any potential to apply your result to multiple models in order to investigate the process throughout or estimate the uncertainty?
-What is the status of the individual group’s model and runs?

Dinner
Wednesday, Nov 30, 10am-1pm
Session 6 Future activities/plans
10:00-11:30
Here, we aim to discuss our next activities, ideas of analysis, meetings, etc.
Please prepare for these possible questions:
What are ideas of further model intercomparisons or model-observation comparisons or synthesis? Participation in satellite-based multi-model evaluation proposal (Duane Waliser’s mail)? Are there phenomena or processes of common interest? Is anyone interested in runs with higher horizontal resolution? Is there any common interest for one specific smaller region? What about IPCC-AR6 (plans, simulations, domain, schedule)? Opinion about Cordex CORE (Irene Lake’s mail)? Is there any interest to think about an Arctic Cordex FPS? What about links to other related activities (e.g. SIMIP, FAMOS, MOSAiC, stakeholder-related, etc.)? ……
11:30-11:45
Coffee
11:45-1:00
Final decisions on future directions and assignment of tasks

Additional information:
Bergen is generally dark and wet during November. It could be little cold as well. But one could get lucky as well. You never know!
Regarding the transport from the airport, you have the airport bus that gets you to the city center. Just FYI, there are two routes from the airport to the city. Both take almost the same time (about 35 minutes). The bus stop is right at the exit of the arrival gate at the airport. The stop to get down varies depending on your hotel. For 1 & 2, it will be ‘bystasjon’. For 3, 4 and 5, it is ‘festplassen’ (You need to walk for 10 minutes to get to #3). For 6, it is ‘bryggen’ which is also the last stop. The ticket costs about 110 NOK. If the bus timing doesn’t suite you, there are taxis available. It would cost around 500-600 NOK depending on the day and the time of arrival.
