6-month Plan: May-Oct 2013RASM 5th WorkshopSeattle 04/13red == high priority tasks
RASM 6-month plan #1 • VIC: bare ice albedo (Joe) • VIC ‘BART’: routing scheme to POP (Joe) • VIC: update to 4.1.2 (Bart) • VIC-GLC development & testing offline (Jeremy+Joe) • VIC: diagnosis of the partitioning between sensible and latent heat fluxes over land (Bart) • VIC-CN off-line for single point (Michael, Bart)
RASM 6-month plan #2 • WRF: explore microphysics & radiation with two sets of boundary conditions; 5-yr runs to diagnose/fix cloud/radiation biases in RASM (Brandon, Shelley et al - WRF) • Continue nudging studies (i.e. higher wavenumber, only top half of atmosphere) (Mimi) • Consider possibilities of increasing model top (Brandon, Bill) • Sensitivity of albedo fraction in WRF (Alice, Robert) • Wind time series for sea ice (Mimi, Andrew) • Circulation bias checks in WRF /bndryprecip problem (Brandon, John)
RASM 6-month plan #3 • Diagnose and fix sea ice velocity/drift problem (Andrew, Wieslaw) • Test CICE 5.0; coupling frequency (Andrew, Tony, Alice) • Quantitatively analyze ensemble produces in RASM (Andrew, Bill, John, Wieslaw) - Run with different reanalyses (Brandon) • POP/CICE work with WRF output as h-compset (Alice, Andrew, Robert) • Iterate with VIC on freshwater input to POP (Robert, Joe, Tony, Wieslaw) • Parameter space sensitivity in RASM & h/g-compset with CORE2 forcing (Robert, Wieslaw, Andrew) • 1/48-deg POP/CICE & 10-km WRF grid into RASM (Wieslaw, Tony, Robert, Mimi. Alice)
RASM 6-month plan #4 (Jeremy) • Enable subgridded SMB calculations, dynamic intra-elevation-band ice/ice-free area in RASM-VIC4.1.2 • Enable run-off (solid+liquid) to RASM ocean • Formulate reasonable spin-up technique for ~5m snowpack in RASM (so reanalysis period not dominated by snowpack spin-up) • Formulate reasonable glacier spin-up technique (so reanalysis period not dominated by glacier spin-up) • Evaluate VIC/CLM SMB from fully-coupled simulations against RGI (observed) hypsometries • Compare RASM-VIC SMB/climate to RASM-CLM SMB/climate • Stand-alone VIC4.1.2-GLC coupling
6-month plan: #5 • CFSR/GFS forcing for RASM and compare with ERA-I results (Brandon, Bill, Robert, Andrew, Wieslaw) • Put together boundary layer budget from all models (Andrew, Bart, Brandon) • New Restarts: Jan 1979, 1989, 1999 & Sep 1989 (from r35rb1a h-compset 2ica) (Robert) • 2 ensemble members for ~30 years (Andrew, Mimi) • WRF-stand alone CORDEX simulations (Justin, Shelley, John, Bill) • Validation of CESM 1.1-RASM (Andrew, Tony, Wieslaw, Bart, Alice) • Validation of Spirit port (Tony) • RASM Users Guide, include WRF averaging part (Justin, Brandon) • Steps toward GCM boundary cond’s (Brandon, Bill)
6-month plan: #6 • Science domain – development of curriculum modules (Bill R., Anna Carolina) • Design and development of delivery system • Research other agency educational materials • Formalize RASM as educational collaborative
