... Remote Influences that Govern Water and Energy Regimes in the GCIP Region A major set of GCIP process issues concerns the dynamic interactions of atmosphere and land. What are the relative roles of land surface processes and remote forcing, such as ocean surface temperatures, in generating and modulating atmospheric and surface anomalies (precipitation, temperature, river discharge)

Develop Strategies to Monitor, Model, and Archive Soil Moisture Data at Appropriate Spatial and Temporal Resolutions · · Combine GCIP's Physically Driven Studies with Statistical Approaches in Water Resources Management ... Clarifying the role that GCIP might play in furthering understanding of hydrological and meteorological variabilities on seasonal to interannual and decade to century time scales must be given high priority.
