DRAFT VERSION


Thursday 07.04.20051st meeting day at CNR-Bologna
13.30-14.30:Possibility to have lunch at CNR-mensa from 13:30 to 14:30 (for those who arrive early enough at Bologna)
14:30-15:00:Opening discussion on evt. necessary programme modifications main questions:
- do we need a specific administrative discussion at the end of day 2 or not
- do we need a discussion how to produce the 2nd annual report or not
- Coordinator's proposal: reduce administrative topics as much as possible and concentrate on scientific discussion - less partner orientated reports, more structured according to scientific topics
15:00-15.30:Comprehensive topic-reports - 20min each, no technical details, the CTRs shall serve as a basis for next day's plenum brainstorming about last year's integrative research (first mentioned partner to report mainly, others to provide material early enough before the workshop - presentation sharing also possible)
- Topic 1: Instrumental data (ZAMG-CRU-ISAC-corresponding data providers): present state and immediate future
"Development of the HISTALP 10-min-gridded precipitation dataset" (Dimitrios Efthymiadis)
- Topic 2: Instrumental analysis (CRU-ISAC-ZAMG): first results on regionalisation, variability and trends, ... and plans, topics, problems, interests for the future
"Monthly precipitation data-set: first results on regionalisation, variability and trends" (Michele Brunetti)
- Topic 3: Tree-ring data (WSL-BOKU-UIBK-UPAD-UANC-UPAV-UTOR-?)
- Topic 4: Tree-ring analysis (WSL-BOKU-UIBK)
15.30-16.00:coffee break
16:00-17:30:Comprehensive topic-reports continued
- Topic 5: Snow and Ice (GIUZ, ZAMG) mass balance, length and snow data, first glacier-climate results, visualisations,..
"Overview activities GIUZ: past/ongoing/future" (Martin Hoelzle)
"Results: Alpine glacier fluctuations 1850-2000: an overview and spatio-temporal analysis of available data and its representativity" (Michael Zemp)

- Topic 6: Ice cores 1 (IUP, GIUZ) new data, re-analyses, etc...
- Topic 7: Ice cores 2 (CEA, IUP, GKSS) modelling aspects
- Topic 8: Modelling (GKSS, ZAMG, ISAC) state of the REMO-run and first comparisons with data
"Modelling outlook: 'Call for Data' for distributed modelling of regional equilibrium line altitude and glacier mass balance in the Alps" (Michael Zemp)
"Results: First climate related analyses of a recovered Alpine long-term glacier variability dataset" (Wolfgang Schëner)
"High-Resolution modelling with the water isotope module of the meso-scale model REMO: A step towards a calibration of isotope records in complex terrain." (Georg Hoffmann)
"Comparison of a high-resolution simulation and observations over the Alpine area" (Kerstin Proemmel)
EVENING PROGRAMDinner at "Cesarina" Restaurant (Via S. Stefano, 19/b)
Friday 08.04.2005: 10.00-11.20:parallel working group round table sessions:
- Instrumental + modelling
"Alpine climate variability in relation to large-scale variations" (Dimitrios Efthymiadis)
- Tree-rings
- Snow and ice and related modelling
"Modelling I: Distributed modelling of regional glacier equilibrium line altitude for the periods of 1971-1990 and around 1850"
"Modelling II: Distributed mass balance modelling for the periods of 1971-1990 and around 1850"
11.20-11.40:Coffee break
11:40-13:00:Plenum round table on last project year's research topics
- Part 1: what will come from the single research fields (short reports about yesterday's subgroup sessions and FAQs from the not involved partners)
13.00-14.30:lunch break at CNR-mensa
14:30-end of afternoon:Plenum round table on last project year's research topics
- Part 2: integrative research topics
- Topic list (to be completed, please send your proposed topics to Vienna)
"Integration of new Austrian glacier front variation dataset into WGMS database" (Wolfgang Schëner, Michael Zemp, Martin Hoelzle)
"2nd revision of Italian front variation data" (Giancarlo Rossi, Michael Zemp, Martin Hoelzle)
- reliability of early instrumental data versus proxy findings (e.g.: the cold bias of pre 1850 tree-ring temperatures versus instrumental (or vice versa??)
- high early spring-summer temperatures plus high summer-autumn precipitation vs. glacier variability vs. ice-cores and also other findings (ph-values in lakes...)
- air pressure derived lower troposphere temperature series vs. REMO
- general model-instrumental consistency
Somewhere near 4 pm:coffee break
- Part 3: production of a definite list of planned main project-publications (contents, lead authors, author teams, etc...) and Cross-check against the project's working plan
17.30 to 18.00:Estimated end of workshop
