  2. Objectives • Update CNRM-CM3 (one of the IPCC-AR4 models) • Participation to CMIP5 (Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 5), through long term (‘centennial) and near term (decadal hindcast and forecast) simulations • A contribution to European projects (Combine, Euclipse) and national projects • Provide surface and lateral boundary conditions to regional models (CORDEX) • Use of CNRM-CM5 in seasonal prediction mode

  3. External forcings Aerosols Greenhouse gases Solar irradiance CNRM-CM5 Atmosphere ARPEGE-Climat v5.2 T127 (1.4°), 31 levels SURFEX Interface Land surface ISBA 24h 24h OASIS v3 Sea Ice GELATO v5 24h Ocean NEMO v3.2 1°, 42 levels River Routing TRIP 24h

  4. The main changes in CNRM-CM • ARPEGE-Climat v5.2 T127 L31 (~1.4° horizontal resolution) • RRTM new radiation scheme • Re-calibration of the climate impact of atmospheric aérosols (tropospheric + stratospheric volcanic) • Water vapour conservation by the dynamics is now imposed • Implementation of SURFEX 5 in ARPEGE-Climat (hence CNRM-CM5 !) • Surfex is now Météo-France’s standard surface model (used in NWP, meso-scale modelling, climate) + large European consortium • New subgrid hydrology, surface tiling • Ocean model : NEMO v3.2 1°L42 (nov. 2009 version) • Free surface • Revised TKE scheme • Sea Ice : Gelato v5 • New thermodynamics • Most of the code is now parallel

  5. A modelling effort on sea ice : Gelato • History • The development of Gelato was initiated in 1996 (a multi-category model) • Dynamics + redistribution by rafting and ridging(1998) • EVP (2000) • New features • Prognostic salinity • Salt uptake : follows Cox and Weeks (1988) • Desalination processes adapted from Vancoppenolle et al., O. Modelling (2009) • Enthalpy model • H = H(T,S) and Cp=Cp(T,S) • Vertical Heat Diffusion (VHD) • Ice thermal conductivity k is a function of T,S (Pringle et al., 2007) • An update of T through the VHD implies that Cp and k are updated in turn  iterative solving of the vertical heat diffusion scheme • Revised snow albedo (adapted from Curry et al. (2001) • New tracers can now easily be implemented (ice age recently implemented)

  6. 1) Gelato in forced model : Forcing data • Atmospheric fields form the DRAKKAR Forcing Set 4 (DFS4) • Brodeau et al (2010) • Surface turbulent fluxes over the oceans are calculated using CORE bulk formulae • Before 1984 (resp. 1979) radiative fields (resp. precipitation) are set to their 1984-2004 (resp 1979-2004) climatologies

  22. Quelques pistes de collaboration CNRM-GAME / Mercator ( + IPSL, UCL) • Modèle forcé: problème radiatif probable dans les hautes latitudes dans les forçages Drakkar (DFS4) • Choix d’une nouvelle dynamique pour Gelato : granulaire ? (coll. B. Tremblay, Mc Gill, Canada); collaboration UCL ? Partage de librairies au sein de NEMO ? • Travail en commun au sujet des flux turbulents sur glace ? • Augmentation de la résolution de NEMO-Gelato en mode climat (eddy resolving 0,25° ?) • Prospective CSOA: réunion concernant l’Arctique les 6 et 7 juillet
