Aerosols - Implementing a range of aerosol representations
Chairs: Jerome Fast, DOE/PNNL; Alma Hodzic, NSF NCAR; Xiaohong Liu, Texas A&M Univ.; Simone Tilmes, NSF NCAR
Focus: WG members will contribute to the implementation plan for MUSICA, and to the design and development of MUSICA aerosol schemes.

Physics, Transport, sub-scale Processes - Addressing multi-scale issues related to convective transport, vertical mixing, and wet scavenging
Chairs: Mary Barth, NSF NCAR; Karen Rosenlof, NOAA; Allison Steiner, U. Michigan
Focus: This WG addresses modeling of physics processes and subgrid-scale transport, including turbulence, convective transport, vertical mixing, wet scavenging of trace gases and aerosols in stratiform and convective clouds, production of lightning-NOx, and the chemistry that occurs in processes such as convection. WG members will contribute to the implementation plan for MUSICA, and to the development and evaluation of MUSICA parameterizations.

Whole Atmosphere - Developing scale-aware gravity wave parameterizations
Chairs: Doug Kinnison, NSF NCAR; Lorenzo Polvani, Columbia U.; John Plane, Leeds
Focus: WG members will contribute to the implementation plan for MUSICA, and to the design and development of gravity wave parameterizations.

Evaluation and Data Assimilation - Implementing data assimilation and developing multi-scale evaluation diagnostics
Chairs: Avelino Arellano, U. Arizona; Rebecca Buchholz, NSF NCAR, Benjamin Gaubert, NSF NCAR, Daven Henze, U. Colorado.
Focus: WG members will contribute to the implementation plan for MUSICA, and to the development of data assimilation and model evaluation tools.
