APPENDIX B WORKSHOP AGENDA Decision Support Systems for Seasonal to Interannual Climate Forecasting Workshop Hosted by the U.S. National Academy of Sciences Arnold and Mabel Beckman Center Irvine, California, USA May 6-8, 2004 Agenda Summary of workshop activities: On Day 1 (Thursday) we will spend most of our time discussing each of the cases. We will start each discussion with a focus on the needs of the users of forecasts and try to get beginning answers to questions such as (1) What “success” of the forecasting system means. (2) Where is the system close to and far from success? (3) What have been the greatest barriers or challenges? (4) How have those been successfully addressed? WHILE WE WOULD LIKE YOU TO ARRIVE AT THE WORKSHOP HAVING THOUGHT ABOUT YOUR CASE AND EXPERIENCE IN LIGHT OF THE THEME PAPER WE WILL SEND, WE DO NOT WANT YOU TO HAVE A PREPARED POWERPOINT SLIDE SHOW. WE SEE THIS MORE AS A GIVE-AND-TAKE DISCUSSION. On Day 2 (Friday), we will take a cross-cut look at the different cases, focusing on our three themes: (1) What makes forecasts salient, credible, and legitimate? (2) How do systems deal with cross-scale interactions (e.g., international to local)? and (3) What kinds of institutional and organizational structures contribute to success? On the evening of Day 2, participants will begin identifying lessons learned. On Day 3 (Saturday), we will have an in-depth discussion of the lessons participants identify - discussing parallels across cases and interactions across themes. The activities of this day are critical in synthesizing the work of the prior two days.
