Cloud-resolving model for weather modification in China

Toward Seamless Weather-Climate Prediction with a Global Cloud Resolving Model

The long-term goal of this project is to developing a seamless weather and climate prediction system that has capability to predict accurately both weather phenomena such as tropical cyclones (TC) and other extreme weather events and longer climate-scale phenomena such as the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) and the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO). Organized moist convections in the tropical...

Efficient data IO for a Parallel Global Cloud Resolving Model

Execution of a Global Cloud Resolving Model (GCRM) at target resolutions of 2e4 km will generate, at a minimum, 10s of Gigabytes of data per variable per snapshot. Writing this data to disk, without creating a serious bottleneck in the execution of the GCRM code, while also supporting efficient post-execution data analysis is a significant challenge. This paper discusses an Input/Output (IO) ap...

Nonhydrostatic icosahedral atmospheric model (NICAM) for global cloud resolving simulations

A new type of ultra-high resolution atmospheric global circulation model is developed. The new model is designed to perform ‘‘cloud resolving simulations’’ by directly calculating deep convection and meso-scale circulations, which play key roles not only in the tropical circulations but in the global circulations of the atmosphere. Since cores of deep convection have a few km in horizontal size...
