                           "NEAR-TERM" OBJECTIVES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * TIME-GCM (release tgcm23):
    o  Port to non-cray platforms, following tgcm14 methods.
    o  Incorporate new top-level code from tgcm14 
       (including netcdf histories).

  * TIEGCM (continued development of tgcm14):
    o  Experiment with double spatial (1/2 temporal) resolution of tiegcm.
    o  Sun multi-processor platform.

  * Port to multi-processor Sun platform (e.g., SCD's k2 system)

  * Experiment with multi-processor systems at HAO

  * New platform / parallel-method combinations

  * Continue parallization and optimizations in an effort to improve 
    scalability

  * Implement new Richmond dynamo code (tiegcm first), and parallelize.
    Enable magnetic coordinate fields on secondary output histories,

  * Other improvements and additions as directed by Roble, Richmond, et.,al.

             POST-PROCESSING, DIAGNOSTICS, and VISUALIZATION

  * Port tgcmproc to Sun workstation (when new Solaris is available at HAO)

  * User's Guide for post-processing tgcm results (web and paper)

  * Make available locally (/PUBLIC at HAO) various netcdf processing and 
    visualization utilities.

  * v5d animations of latest runs with the SCD vis lab.
