  1. NOAA and CPT Jin Huang Deputy Director Modeling, Analysis, Predictions, and Projections (MAPP) Program NOAA Climate Program Office October 28, 2010

  2. NOAA CPO Grant Programs Starting from FY11

  3. MAPP mission: to enhance the Nation’s capability to predict variability and changes of the Earth’s System. Objectives: Improving Earth System models, Supporting an Earth System Integrated Analysis capability, Improving methodologies for global and regional-scale analysis, predictions and projections, Improving integrated hydrologic and ecosystem prediction capabilities relevant to decision makers based on climate analyses, predictions and projections. MAPP builds upon the following CPO predecessor programs: Applied Research Centers (ARCs), Climate Test Bed (CTB), Reanalysis, part of Climate Prediction Program for the Americas (CPPA).

  4. Goal: to accelerate development of global climate models and reduce uncertainties by bringing together theoreticians, field program scientists, process modelers, and modeling centers. • NOAA and NSF funded four CPTs for FY10-12: • Bretherton, Teixeira, Mechoso, Park (NCAR), Pan (NCEP), and Klein (LLNL): Improving the representation of the stratocumulus to cumulus transition in climate models (a Climate Test Bed Project, fully funded by NOAA) • Larson, Donner (GFDL), Golaz, and Ming: Cloud macrophysical parameterization and its application to indirect effect • MacKinnon and Hallberg (GFDL): Representing internal-wave driven mixing in global ocean models • Jin and Hallberg (GFDL): Ocean mixing processes associated with high spatial heterogeneity in sea ice and the implications for climate models Climate Process and Modeling Teams (CPTs)

  5. Operation to Research (O2R) • Allow external communities to access NOAA models and to diagnose, evaluate and improve NOAA models in terms of physical processes • Research to Operation (R2O) • Enhance communication between NOAA and external science communities and between NCEP and GFDL • Enhance NOAA participation in community-organized research activities • e.g., WGNE asked NOAA (NCEP and GFDL) SCM models to participate the GCSS Lagrangian air-mass flow experiment • This is the first CPT involving NCEP. Your experience, requests, and suggestions during the next 3 years will be very useful to improve future NCEP O2R and R2O. CPTs to NOAA
