From page 26...
... The high-resolution, fully coupled model prediction of the ocean eddies, fronts, and sea state will be accurate enough for practical usage. The coupled global oceanatmosphere models will be capable of climate prediction with reduced uncertainty.

From page 27...
... • Basic understanding of physical processes at the air-sea interface, especially the role of surface waves in the air-sea fluxes, may be limited by the lack of observations, especially in extreme condi tions such as winter storms and tropical cyclones. • Computer models will continue to advance with increased grid resolution (~1 km or less)
