and Microscale Frontiers</strong>: Recent advances have
opened the door to global, convection resolving simulations,
and large-eddy simulations of mesoscale flows and complex
surface-atmosphere exchange. New and planned remote sensing
developments in satellites and radar, as well as advances in
aircraft instrumentation, promise dramatically improved
perspectives on clouds and precipitating processes. In order
to probe these frontiers, novel approaches that cross
traditional disciplinary boundaries will be needed.</li>

of community models and application to fundamental
research problems</strong>: A cornerstone of MMM science
is the development of community weather prediction models.
Applications from the ultra-fine scales of 10s-100s of
meters to global phenomena at intraseasonal time scales will
push the boundaries of technology and scientific
understanding and create opportunities for collaborations
across NCAR. Wide-ranging applications of earth system
community models require representations of physical
processes that are more robust across a range of space and
time scales. New observations are also important for
grounding the development of parameterizations that couple
clouds, radiation, aerosols and turbulence and boundary
layers.</li>

assimilation, ensemble prediction and predictability</strong>:
Model initialization is tightly coupled to ensemble
prediction and predictability research. To address strategic
goals of weather prediction research, especially at fine
spatial scales, new data assimilation methods may be
required. Furthermore, data assimilation offers a rigorous
way to simultaneously evaluate models and observations and
thus provides a valuable platform for improving models,
interpreting field data, and understanding predictability.</li>

research on extreme weather and its impacts</strong>:
Hazard impact assessment and prediction is essential for
producing more societally useful information and requires
scientists with broad interests and skills. Furthermore,
understanding how users of prediction information perceive
and interpret information and make decisions, especially in
situations of limited predictability, is essential for
targeting advances to benefit a diverse collection of
people.</li>
