Many workshop participants agreed that progress in model development is being impeded, and they identified several likely contributors to this situation, many of them cultural: · Widely available, easily run models and the current funding and academic environments may be turning both graduate students and their faculty advisors toward fast-turnaround research in numerical simulation and away from the traditional but much slower path of theory and observation. · Bright young scholars best suited to tackling scientific problems may incorrectly perceive that the atmospheric and oceanic sciences are an applied field whose goal is merely to improve weather and climate forecasts.

Because the development of parameterizations for use in numerical models has become a fundamental part of the atmospheric sciences, climate, and oceanography, these trends could cloud the future of the fields. As such, many workshop participants believe there is a need to recognize, accommodate, and foster model parameterization science to ensure continued progress in model development.
