Panel Session
 

International and Interagency Cooperative Development: Cooperative development of architecture for Earth system observational systems and modeling capabilities.

The Earth System Model (ESM) framework provides a fundamental new ability to understand the Earth and the complex relationships among the key areas of environmental science and the Earth's human inhabitants. Due to the size and complexity, the virtual ESM is a quintessentially international effort that includes new observational techniques, advanced modeling and computational capabilities, as well as the integrating architectures that bring the observation capabilities, science algorithms, ESMs, together. The panel will discuss national and international viewpoints concerning the approaches and challenges to attainment of the ESM predictive goals.
