Description

I report on studies to combine the three-flavour neutrino oscillation fits to the Super-Kamiokande atmospheric data and the T2K long baseline data. With the establishment of large \sin^2(\theta_{13}) we now turn our attention to the remaining undetermined parameters in the neutrino sector, the mass hierarchy, \sin^2(\theta23) octant and \delta_{cp} phase. By probing these parameters simultaneously using multiple neutrino species at different energies and with different baselines we may be able to resolve the inherent degeneracies. The combination of Super-Kamiokande and T2K offers such a possibility. In a phased approach we begin with the simplest means of combining the results and plot a course for future studies.
