APPENDIX B
Community Input
I
n addition to reviewing relevant literature and using its expert judgment to write
this report, the committee was responsible for providing opportunities for input
from a full range of relevant stakeholders. This was facilitated through five open ses-
sion meetings held in various cities around the United States (Washington, DC; Seattle,
Washington; Irvine, California; and Boulder, Colorado), a series of interviews, and a
climate modeling questionnaire. The open session meetings included one community
workshop held in April 2011 in Boulder, Colorado, and involved a wide range of stake-
holders from labs, agencies, academic institutions, international organizations, and the
broad user community. All workshop participants were also asked to answer a three-
question questionnaire to share their thoughts about the current climate modeling
landscape and ideas for a future strategy. The following individuals participated in at
least one of the committee’s open session meetings and provided valuable input:

to improve climate modeling in the United States. To inform the committee on ideas
of what impacted the effectiveness of these previous reports, interviews were con-
ducted with 11 individuals (listed below) who either held positions where they could
use report recommendations to bolster policy decisions, or were in positions directly
impacted by actions taken as a result of the report findings. These interviews were
conducted by three researchers who have experience with climate-related research
and have conducted interviews previously, but who had no affiliation with the current
or previous reports. The interviewees were asked about their experiences and opin-
ions on previous NRC reports, about their thoughts on important aspects of a national
strategy for advancing climate modeling, and about their opinions on previous com-
munity efforts related to software infrastructure. No individual comments are attrib-
uted to the interviewees, but rather the information from these interviews was used to
draw out general lessons, which are described in Chapter 2.
