  2. I. Personnel – Science Evaluation (Code 916) and Computational Services (Code 931) at GSFC • Science Computing Branch (Tom Clune) • Jae-Hoon Kim and Bigyani Das prepare inputs and run the models. • Additional computational support personnel, such as software engineers and web site designers, are available as needed.   • Science Evaluation (Susan Strahan) • Over the summer, Steve Steenrod joined the team. He has extensive experience with the Goddard CTM. • Chris Readinger joined the team 3 weeks ago. He will be writing IDL codes for reading, post-processing, and diagnostic evaluation of model output.

  3. II. Tropospheric Model: Status and Simulations • Radionuclides (222Rn, 210Pb, 7Be, and 10Be) • The wet deposition scheme blues • Coding error corrected (in rainout), new radionuclide results differ from previous (Nov 2001) results. • Cloud liquid water (LWC) value: Harvard vs. Michigan? Choice affects surface Pb in northern high latitudes • Latest simulation (3 met fields) with Michigan LWC available • Full Chemistry • Latest simulations: 3 met fields, all diagnostics on, and Michigan LWC – some output problems! Will rerun…. • Output files for 175 stations • Synthetic Tracers (Bio Burning CO, Transcom CO2, and CH3I) • Simulations just completed • These runs provide diagnostic help for interpretation of full chemistry runs.

  4. II. Aerosol Model: Status & Simulations • To Date • aerosol model and Michigan inputs were delivered in summer • model is coded to run only 1 month at a time, some recoding is necessary to run 1 year at a time • 1 year simulation with DAO winds and Michigan inputs (and Michigan LWC) now being evaluated by Michigan • Coming up next… • Simulations with GISS and CCM3 winds are ready to roll once DAO results are ‘validated’ against Michigan results • Next simulations will use GMI model results (e.g. HO2 & O3) as inputs, instead of Michigan chemical input.

  5. II. Stratospheric Model: Status & Simulations • To Date • Model delivered in July and tested last month • We reproduced results identical to Peter Connell’s test run with the same version of the code • Slightly different results are obtained with 32 vs. 44 processors. Differences are scientifically insignificant. • Coming up next… • Test of sensitivity to horizontal resolution. We’ll use same FVGCM winds but at 2x2.5 resolution. Very relevant to the isolation of Antarctic vortex. • Updating reaction rates to JPL2002.

  6. III. GMI Web Site: http://gmi.gsfc.nasa.gov • Currently working on ‘Science Highlights’ Section • Need tropospheric model text • Need aerosol model text • Submitted manuscripts can be downloaded here • Currently working on ‘Calendar and Notes’ • we will keep this current so you can review agenda and presentations from recent meetings • Site for downloading future meeting info, timelines • My goal: to fill out the site by next meeting, including an information page for prospective GMI members on our research needs/priorities

  7. IV. What we need from you…. • Copy of your presentation (*.ppt or *.doc). Email tostrahan@code916.gsfc.nasa.gov • A prioritized list of your GMI computing needs. For example, • IDL readers for a particular model output • clearly defined new diagnostics • IDL post-processing routines • a list ‘standard’ diagnostic plots to be made (by us) for any new simulation… • Text and manuscripts for the GMI web site
