Transition Project Teams

    The CTB Transition Project Teams (TPTs) are the functional core of the CTB. They provide a mechanism for coordinating and completing CTB science experiments that require computer resources, and they enhance collaboration between internal and external participants on the CTB. TPT membership includes CTB personnel, other NCEP employees, other NOAA employees, contractors, external PIs from competitive research programs (including Focal Points (FPs) chosen for each model and product supported by CTB), and members of the user community. The TPTs are not fixed in time and will naturally evolve to reflect the balance of internal (base funded) and competitive (AO-driven) activities on the CTB. Specific functions of TPTs are discussed in the Science Plan and Implementation Strategy, Appendix D.
