This article summarizes the major issues identified in the Birmingham workshop,
which are categorized below in terms of the eight white paper topics. A number of these
issues crossed disciplinary lines and, thus, were discussed in more than one of the
disciplinary groups. Consequently, the allocation of issues to groups is somewhat
arbitrary. The following section summarizes the organizational recommendations and
research issues identified during the workshop. It is important to note that these
discussions focused mostly on issues at the interface of different disciplines, especially
the relationship between the meteorological and social/behavioral sciences. The last
section of this report provides relatively detailed descriptions of 12 research projects that
were proposed by the workshop participants and, where necessary, supplemented by the
editors.
