                           "LONG-TERM" OBJECTIVES
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * Core science code rewrite, simultaeneous with WACCM model development.

    TGCM routines and modules are rewritten, adhering f90 and CCM/CSL code 
    standardization, and validated in the TIEGM/TIME-GCM systems before 
    being incorporated into the WACCM model.

  * Combine TIEGCM and TIME-GCM in a single source code, allowing more 
    efficient maintainance and development. "Two models for the price of one"

  * Implement flexible multi-grid methods (s.a. TING development).

  * 2-d data decomposition (probably latitude and longitude) to enable
    larger degrees of freedom in parallelization

  * Continued performance evaluation, optimization, portability, and 
    "plug-compatability" for new parameterizations

  * Users Guide and Model Description technical bulletins (similiar to CCM)

  * Public availability of "generic steady-state" histories from seasonal 
    or annual runs, and varying solar conditions.  These can be used as 
    start-up histories for model studies or as test data for post-processing.
