Excerpt from book: 4 Climate-System Research The climate-system research section of the Plan contains most of the ingredients necessary for a successful program of climate research. Nevertheless, the organization of these ingredients in terms of objectives and tasks makes it difficult to discuss specific activities and to assign priorities. The tasks identified do not relate to clear research objectives and do not address those disciplinary groups expected to perform the work. A supporting document, Planning Guidance for Climate Systems Research (Draft Appendix to the National Climate Program 5-Year Plan, National Climate Program Office, NOAA, June 1979), was made available shortly before the Workshop. It presents a more complete rationale for the research component and a rich reservoir of topics for research. Moreover, its organization is better attuned to our perception of the scientific problems and the means by which they should be addressed. This excellent document, however, is not in itself a research plan. It is a catalog of what could and should be done, not a prescription of what will be done. Within the broad and many- fingered streams of research outlined in this document, many priorities are identified. However, even this reduced list could hardly be pursued in its entirety. Our purposes here are thus to suggest how the storehouse of possibilities represented by this document may be drawn on to develop a sharply focused plan that can be successfully implemented within the constraints of time, resources, and talent. To this end, we will present suggestions on the organization of a research plan, and we will extract from the Guidance document a limited group of research activities of the highest priority and greatest feasibility.
