Methodology

The CAPT protocol  (see schematic) is analagous to a common NWP approach for development of forecast models.  It is also potentially  useful for diagnosing parameterization problems that may produce systematic model errors on climate time scales . Our goal is to adapt this NWP-inspired technique for its practical application in the development cycles of climate models (Phillips et al. 2004).
