This would build on a smaller planning meeting on this topic held in Bologna in May, which some of you attended. I'm very keen to get a good mix of climate scientists plus those from libraries, archives and museums, and in the IT side of visualisation of weather and climate data. There will be about £10-12K available towards the cost of this meeting, though I had hoped for more, so I'm going to have to make sure that it is carefully used. This will probably mean that I'll have to look at funding primarily travel costs for those attendees that need them. After some juggling of dates, and given that we should move on this now, I'm planning to have the meeting at the Met Office in Exeter in the UK from the 14th to the 16th of September. If you have haven't already, could you let me know of your availability for this meeting and the level of travel support that would be required. If more funds were to surface before the meeting kicks off, I'd look to see if I could support more aspects of attendees accommodation and sustenance. Cheers, Rob. -- Dr Rob Allan, ACRE Project Manager, Climate Monitoring and Attribution Group, Met Office Hadley Centre.
