Dear Mike.

The Scientific Steering Group for the WCRP's Climate Variability and 
Predictability Study (CLIVAR) will meet in Toulouse May 15-18.  On 
the afternoon of Thursday May 17 Tim Palmer from ECMWF who is a 
member of the SSG is organising a session on "Applications".  The 
idea is to explore how the research that CLIVAR encompasses looking a 
timescales from seasonal (Monsoons) right through to anthropogenic 
change is used by operational centres and by applications programmes. 
Tim has suggested that Antonio Moura from the IRI, you and he would 
be appropriate people to give the SSG your ideas and help highlight 
any communication gaps between the research and applications 
communities in particular.  I have also suggested to Tim that John 
Ingram as the Scientific Director of the GECaFS might also take part.

The idea would be to have short (30 minute) presentations from each 
of you highlighting some of the issues and then a discussion session.

Would you be able to attend?  You would of course be welcome to sit 
in on other parts of the SSG meeting.  An agenda will go out to 
attendees later today.

Please let me know

Sincerely.

John Gould
