We have about 26 participants listed. We can go up to about 30 (we can cram up to 33 in, but it gets crowded). We also have a skype-in option (technically untested with the cell-phone connections present there, but it will probably work); so far three people are planning to use Skype (others would need to give Greg Leonard your Skype name-- gleonard@email.arizona.edu).</b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><br></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>We will not likely get to the full agenda listed previously, but we will do as much as we can. Minimally, I want to discuss the following proposal for establishment of working groups.

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Overarching goal:</b> Improve our understanding of error, precision
and uncertainty in glacier measurements, especially of higher-level analysis beyond
simple inventories; especially first and second derivatives of multi-temporal
data. Improve our confidence in downscaled
regional climate models. Do all this in 2 years to be ready to have an improved
impact on IPCC AR6. We should be able to answer questions such as: How rapidly are glaciers changing? Are the changes accelerating or slowing? And then we need to have reliable and standardized means of error assessment, or at least a clear understanding of differences in different groups' error assessment approaches. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p>

GILLESPIE: Promotion of weather station emplacement, and a standard GLIMS
protocol for the instrumentation and emplacement strategy. Dozens of glaciers that are not already
benchmark glaciers, or benchmark glaciers if there is not already weather
monitoring below, near and above the ELA.
They should include some of the same glaciers used for Mission #2
(below). The weather stations can
include complete AWS, but to make it practical for large numbers of glaciers it
should include some basic low-cost weather data recorders, maybe some that can
be thrown out of a helicopter????<o:p></o:p></span></p>

BUSH: Development of a uniform regional climate downscaling program to cover
dozens of glaciers—benchmark glaciers and others that are the subject of Mission
#1. 6-km downscale resolution is implementable without problem using the WRF
code (Andy Bush). Other RCM codes? But whatever code(s) are used, it should be
applied systematically with the same downscale architecture, same climate
emissions scenario(s), same past/present/future dates of model computation, uniform
in every way so that the results are directly comparable across the globe. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;
