Systematic errors in weather and climate models: Nature, origins, and ways forward

Hundreds of scientists involved in the development and evaluation of weather and climate models held an international workshop to discuss the nature and causes of systematic model errors across time scales; 19-23 June 2017; Montreal, Quebec, Canada. This workshop offered a forum to identify systematic errors and physical processes that are not well represented in current weather and climate models. The program was organized around six themes: the coupled atmosphere-land-ocean-cryosphere system; errors in the representation of clouds and precipitation; resolution issues, including the representation of processes in the so-called gray zones; model errors in ensembles; errors in the simulation of teleconnections between the high/midlatitudes and tropics; and novel metrics and diagnostics.
