During autumn 2009, I had a contract with them to look into accelerating their radiative transfer model RRTM, which is used in both the weather and climate models. After two weeks of research, the project was put on hold because &#8220;(<em>Trenberth) had lost confidence in their radiative transfer model</em>&#8221;</p>
<p>Later I found out that Trenberth had just written this E-mail</p>
