Development of an environmental prediction capability will require incorpo-ration of additional components of the Earth System beyond the physical climate system. The core elements and expertise needed in this regard include atmospheric general circu-lation models, ocean circulation models, land surface models, interactive vegetation models, marine ecosystem models, atmospheric chemistry models, global carbon cycle models, assimilation techniques for atmosphere-ocean-land, population dynamics, crop models, and infectious disease models, to name a few. The challenge now is to bring these core elements together within a common infrastructure and with a central focus on sub-seasonal to decadal prediction of the Earth System in the broadest sense. Further-more, the prospect of Earth System prediction has unique policy relevance at both the national and international levels.
Antonio J. Busalacchi is President of the University Corporation for Atmospheric Re-search (UCAR) in Boulder, Colorado. Prior to his appointment at UCAR, he was the Glenn L. Martin Institute Professor, Director of the Earth System Science Interdisciplinary Center (ESSIC), and Professor in the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Science at the University of Maryland. He received his Ph.D. in oceanography from Florida State University in 1982 and began his professional career that year at the NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center. He has studied tropical ocean circulation and its role in the coupled climate system. His research on climate variability and predictability has sup-ported a range of international and national research programs dealing with global change and climate, particularly as affected by the oceans. He previously served as a UCAR Board of Trustees member. Among his awards and honors, in 1991, Busalacchi was the recipient of the Arthur S. Flemming Award. In 1999, he was awarded the NASA/Goddard Excellence in Outreach Award and the Presidential Rank Meritorious Executive Award. He is a Fellow of the American Meteorological Society (AMS), the American Geophysical Union (AGU), and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). In 2006, he was the AMS Walter Orr Roberts Interdisciplinary Science Lecturer and in 2016, he was elected as a Member of the National Academy of Engineering.
Croome Court is a mid-18th-century Neo-Palladian mansion surrounded by extensive landscaped parkland at Croome D'Abitot, near Pershore in south Worcestershire, England. The mansion and park were designed by Lancelot "Capability" Brown for the 6th Earl of Coventry, and were Brown's first landscape design and first major architectural project. Some of the mansion's rooms were designed by Robert Adam.
The mansion house is owned by Croome Heritage Trust, and is leased to the National Trust which operates it as a tourist attraction. The National Trust owns the surrounding parkland, which is also open to the public.

The Strategic Airlift Capability (SAC) concept originated at NATO HQ in mid-2006. NATO officials and national representatives envisaged a partnered solution that would satisfy a need for strategic airlift for member states without the economic resources to field a permanent capability. Originally this idea was called the NATO Strategic Airlift Capability (NSAC). In October 2006 the first non-NATO nation joined the initiative and the concept changed its name to the SAC and moved outside the Alliance.
On 23 September 2008 the 12 nations established the Strategic Airlift Capability by signing the SAC Memorandum of Understanding.
On 14 July 2009, Strategic Airlift Capability received its first C-17 aircraft, bearing the registration SAC 01. The remaining two aircraft, SAC 02 and 03, were delivered in the following months and operations with the Heavy Airlift Wing started immediately thereafter at Pápa Air Base.
In November 2012 the Heavy Airlift Wing achieved Full Operational Capability (FOC). The unit was then considered fully capable of missions containing air refueling, single ship airdrop, assault landings, all-weather operations day or night into low-to-medium-threat environments, limited aeromedical evacuation operations and utilizing C-17 air-land and air-drop mission capabilities.[

Senior military and civilian leaders visit the 116th Infantry Brigade Combat Team's eXportable Combat Training Center rotation June 19, 2014, at Fort Pickett, Va.. Brig. Gen. Timothy P. Williams, the Adjutant General of Virginia, Brig. Gen. John P. Johnson, Director of Training from the Office of the U. S. Army Deputy Chief of Staff G-3/5/7, Brig. Gen. Victor J. Braden, Deputy Commanding General of the U. S. Army Combined Arms Center at Fort Leavenworth, Deputy Secretary of Public Safety and Homeland Security Adam K. Thiel and other military and civilian leaders received an information briefing about the XCTC then toured several support locations and later visited with troops at different training locations. The 10-day eXportable Combat Training Capability rotation is designed to train and validate platoons on tasks that support offensive and defensive operations under daylight and hours of limited visibility. Units will concentrate on training selected mission essential tasks in a realistic field environment to refocus junior leaders on tactical field craft. The Army National Guard’s XCTC program provides an experience similar to a Combat Training Center to Guard Soldiers at a home station training center, minimizing cost and time away from home and jobs. XCTC is an instrumented field training exercise designed to certify unit proficiency in coordination with First Army. (Photo by Cotton Puryear, Virginia National Guard Public Affairs)
Gunby Hall is a country house in Gunby, near Spilsby, in Lincolnshire, England, reached by a half mile long private drive. It’s a fantastic place to visit. WOW factor. The Estate comprises the 42 room Gunby Hall, listed Grade I, a fine Clocktower, listed Grade II* and a Carriage House and Stable Block which are listed Grade II. It was given to the National Trust in 1944 by the trustees of the Gunby Hall Estate: Lady Montgomery-Massingberd, Major Norman Leith-Hay-Clarke and Field Marshal Sir Archibald Montgomery-Massingberd. together with its contents and approximately 1,500 acres of land. Surrounding the hall is a 100 acre park, listed as being of historical significance and laid out in the style of Lancelot "Capability" Brown. Around that is a farmed estate of 1,500 acres. the estate used to extend to many thousands of acres and reached the coast at what is now Skegness. Land was sold in the 19th century to the Earl of Scarbrough who built the town of Skegness to satisfy increasing demand from tourism created by the expansion of the railways.
The gardens are laid out in an informal English style with large Victorian Walled and Kitchen Gardens, lawns, an arboretum and carp pond believed to be older than the main hall. There are 50 types of apple tree, 21 of pear and over 50 types of rose in the gardens. There is also a 17th-century dove cote, a grass tennis court, croquet pitch, cottage, apple store and studio. On the edge of the formal gardens and within the Park lies St Peter's Church. Rebuilt on Medieval foundations in the 1870s the Church is accessible only through the Hall's gardens but it remains the active Parish Church of Gunby with a service once a month.

A walk around Minterne Gardens in Dorset.
The garden walk is about 1 mile in a horseshoe shape.
You can take different paths on the last leg of the walk, we went on the upper path.

Information below from leaflet from Minterne Gardens:
The Minterne Valley, landscapped in the manner of Capability Brown in the 18th century, has been the home of the Churchill and Digby families for 350 years. The gardens are laid out in a horseshoe below Minterne House, with a chain of small lakes, waterfalls and streams. They contain an important collection of Himalayan Rhodocdendrons and Azaleas, with Spring bulbs, Cherries, Maples and many fine and rare trees; the garden is noted for its Autumn colouring.
Of particular note are the large plants of Magnolia Campbellii which flower in March and April, together with a profusion of spring bulbs. Many flowering cherries were brought from Japan in 1920 and the Pieris Forrestii with their brilliant scarlet shoots, originally came from Wakehurst. A very fine collection of Davidia Involucrata (the pocket handkerchief tree) produce striking bracts in late May and early June, when the streams are lined with primulas, astilbes and other water plants.

A crisp morning - standing on Shropshire part of the Weston Park estate, looking towrds the house which is in Staffordshire. It is one of the most beautiful estates in Shropshire. Capability Brown designed the Temple Wood Pleasure Ground as a relaxing haven for the Bridgeman family.
