Presentation Transcript

  1. Arctic Climate at GFDL CM2 Coupled Climate Model • completed in Summer 2004 • advanced physics (no flux adjustments) • realistic interannual variability (ENSO, AO) • IPCC climate change scenario output available • model evaluation and development is ongoing • 1-degree resolution version planned in next year Collaborative research is welcome • analysis of climate change and variability • process studies

  2. IMPROVEMENT OF ATMOSPHERIC MODEL PHYSICS SINGLE COLUMN MODEL Goals: Improve the physics of GCMs by taking advantage of the rich data to be derived from the Arctic Atmospheric Observatories and satellites Test single column models against the observations and apply knowledge gained to improve GCMs Share integrated dataset with research community FORCING VALIDATION NESDIS TOA IRRADIANCE AND CLOUD RETRIEVALS NCEP NUMERICAL FORECASTS GCM PHYSICS TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY ADVECTION AND WINDS CLOUD PROPERTIES SURFACE RADIATIVE AND TURBULENT FLUXES; PRECIPITATION SURFACE ALBEDO AND TEMPERATURE ETL SURFACE VARIABLES AND ATMOSPHERIC RETRIEVALS ETL: ARCTIC ATMOSPHERIC OBSERVATORIES
