Goals of this preliminary working group effort include:
1) Working with site-specific meteorological data from all LTER sites. 
   In particular, making use of site-specific meteorological data for 
   input to the Archaeoclimatology model (AM).  David Greenland and the
   Climate Committee has already done much of the required work.  Our
   first goal will be to make sure these site-specific data are in 
   the form needed for input to the AM and (as noted above) this effort 
   is already proceeding.
2) Hands-on working with and becoming familiar with the AM (see web page
   info).
3) Checking the model output against paleo-records from the various sites
   and evaluating the AM.
4) Discussion of alternative models of climate reconstruction and how
   the LTER's might work with and test such models.
5) Preliminary synthesis with respect to "macrophysical" paleoclimate
   models in the context of LTER.
