12:00 Registration

13:00 – 15:00 Keynote presentations

13:00 Welcome to KNMI – Myriam van Rooij, Director KNMI
Introduction – Rein Haarsma (KNMI), Malcolm Roberts (Met Office), Pier Luigi Vidale (Reading University)
13:15 High-resolution climate modeling via variable-resolution approaches – Christiane Jablonowski, University of Michigan
13:40 Climate Modeling and Climate Change Studies in Japan – Masahide Kimoto, University of Tokyo
14:05 The IMPREX project – Janet Wijngaard, KNMI
14:30 Three 10 minute highlights from PRIMAVERA by ‘cutting edge’ researchers:

Jon Seddon – Met Office – High-Resolution Model Data Ingest at JASMIN
Nevan Fuckar – BSC – Impact of resolution increase on Arctic sea ice modes of variability
15:00 Refreshment break

15:30 – 17:40 PRIMAVERA Progress and Plans by WP (10 minutes per WP)

10 minutes per WP to present a summary of key progress. For WPs 1 to 6 this will be a summary on the status of the flagship and frontier runs. The status should address not only technical issues encountered when moving from low to high resolution (including the timing and the feasibility of the runs), but also general resolution-dependent behaviours in different models, from HadGEM3-GC3, to CNRM-CM6/IPSL-CM6, EC-Earth, CMCC and MPI-ESM/AWI-CM. Not just the specific science issues to be addressed in WP1+2, but much broader issue concerning model drifts, radiation balance, AMOC-drift, etc ...

15:30 WP1
15:40 WP2
15:50 WP3
16:00 Ten minutes madness!
Up to 3 slides from each WP, presented by junior PRIMAVERA scientists, and describing “something relevant and interesting” (not necessarily project results).
