Learn about Climate Process Teams

For a decade and a half, US CLIVAR has promoted the concept of Climate Process Teams (CPTs). CPTs are a useful way to transfer process-oriented research into climate model development. The history of CPTs, key lessons from past efforts, and how to propose future projects are outlined on the website.
