RICO Workshop
NCAR-Foothills Lab,January 18-21, 2006

[This document has been adapted from the original, located on Bjorn Stevens' UCLA WebSite.]

The purpose of the January 2006 Rico Data workshop is two-fold: (i) to identify and attempt to resolve outstanding issues in the RICO data set; (ii) to foster the development of integrative data sets and collaborative science. Towards this end most of the workshop will be reserved for actually working, with only the first day devoted to formal presentations, and part of the last day devoted to a discussion of the future, and an update on issues identified as outstanding during the first day. The bulk of the presentations on the first day will consist of Investigator Reports. The objectives of these reports is to identify for the broader RICO community what you are doing, what (if any) collaborative interests you have, and issues/findings you have with respect to the data. Ideally these presentations will be very brief (with 7-10 minutes allocated per person) and will consist of a small number of slides. The hope is that through these presentations any issues that need to be addressed as a community will be identified, and collaborative opportunities which can be explored in subsequent days will be identified. [The introduction has been truncated at this point.]
