Government Centers
Partners	Existing Two-Way Communication	Plans
PNNL (Pacific Northwest National Laboratory)	T.Ackerman has left PNNL for U.W.	S. Ghan will interact with CMMAP scientists on aerosols and cloud microphysics in climate modeling.
NASA/LaRC (Langley Research Center)	K.-M. Xu, B.Wielicki collaborate on turbulence parameterizations and the use of satellite data for model evaluation.	No change.
NASA/GSFC (Goddard Space Flight Center)	W.-K.Tao collaborates on the development of improved MMFs and on data assimilation.	No change.
Climate and NWP Centers
Partners	Existing Two-Way Communication	Plans
CCSM (Community Climate System Model user group)	C.-H. Moeng (CMMAP Deputy Director), M. Moncrieff, and W. Grabowski of NCAR/MMM play a crucial role in research interactions on the boundary layer, the MJO, and the MMF. W. Collins and J. Hack of NCAR/CGD are important collaborators on radiative transfer and on the CAM.	Enhance interaction with CAM (Community Atmosphere Model) scientists.
FRCGC (Frontier Research Center for Global Change)	H. Miura,T. Nasuno, and M. Satoh collaborate on GCRMs.	H. Miura will be a visiting scientist at CSU for one year, working on GCRM development.
ECMWF (European Center for Medium Range Forecasts)	M. Miller interacts with CMMAP scientists on medium range forecasting, model evaluation through NWP	Work to engage additional ECMWF scientists.
BMRC (Bureau of Meteorology Research Center)	C. Jakob collaborates in the evaluation of global cloudiness simulations. Model evaluation, especially based on ARM data.	C. Jakob has left BMRC for Monash University. We plan to initiate interactions with H. Hendon of BMRC.
NCEP (National Centers for Environmental Prediction)	S. Lord, L. Uccellini are interacting with CMMAP scientists on the potential of MMFs and GCRMS to improve operational weather forecasting.	S. Lord presented an invited talk at the August 2007 Team Meeting on operational forecast models at NCEP.
GFDL (Geohysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory)	L. Donner, our point of contact with GFDL, collaborates on the development of improved MMFs and improved conventional parameterizations.	No change.
LLNL (Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory)	P. Duffy was involved in the development of the CMMAP proposal, but has since become inactive.	Future interactions with PNNL will center on D. Bader.
CCSR (Center for Climate System Research)	A. Sumi,T. Nakajima of Tokyo University collaborate on the development of MMFs and improved climate simulations.	No change.
Met. Service of Canada	H. Barker collaborates in the testing of new radiation parameterizations.	No change.
LBNL (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory)	None	We plan to develop interactions with M. Wehner and W. Collins who has recently move to LBNL
