ERMITAGE: COUPLING MODELSINTO CIAS: WHY, WHAT, and HOWNov 17, 2011University of East AngliaRachel Warren, Tyndall Centre,
Requirements for ERMITAGE WP11 1. Create scenarios which simulate climate mitigation and examine their ‘sustainability’ for......adequacy of food and water supply, protection of ecosystems and water resources 2. Create scenarios that simulate ‘sustainable’ policies for land use, ecosystems, water supplies ....what is the effect on climate? 3. Identify tradeoffs/synergies; create scenarios that maximise sustainability in all these respects.
So an integrated model is required that ... a. Links land, climate and hydrological models b. Combines models written at various institutions in different languages c. Stores model outcomes traceably d. Facilitates uncertainty analysis e. Allows study of feedbacks f. Flexible to answer different questions
CIAS 2.0 Providing climate change and climate change impacts information for adaptation preparedness and mitigation decisions around the world
CIAS 2.0 Design Features Uncertainty Analysis: Parameters Modules MULTI: -institutional -platform -language Flexibly linked modular system Feedbacks included Web portal Involves the stakeholder Community..
The earlier the peak in emissions, the greater the avoided impacts AVOID is funded by the Department of Energy and Climate Change and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs

Positive features of CIAS ... 1.There’s a database There’s a metadatabase 2. Searchable: S&Q interface 3.Web portal that allows uncertainty analysis 4.Allows study of feedbacks between models 5. Allows linking of models different instiutions in different languages. 6. Can link full code, emulator, or executable
To work with CIAS... • We work together by passing files manually between pairs of models to understand the coupling (as currently in WP5) without feedbacks: consider issues of time-stepping, spatial scales • Pass files manually to do feedback and understand science/economics of this • NB New large data base, TDH, is available to help us exchange our data files
To work with CIAS...concurrently C. Rupert checks bfg supports language and if not adapt (WP2) D. Sudipta needs to be informed of: (i) scientific coupling between model pairs: test in SoftIAM E. To put the couplings in the portal Sudipta needs then: (ii) the required couplings (iii) output requirements (iv) which input parameters are suitable for uncertainty analysis
Possible CIAS sequence to WP11.. • Scientific couplings in WP5 • close to decided so... • B. Couple GENIEemulator into CIAS • C. Couple LPJemulator into CIAS • D. GEMINI-E3 • E. MagPIE • F. REMIND-R, TIAM
Which couplings can be created? • Magicc6-ClimGEN-LPJmL-MagPIE-Magicc6 (WP5) • GENIEEm-LPJmL-MagPIE-GENIEEm • C. GEMINIE3-GENIEEm (WP6) • REMINDR-MagPIE-LPJmL or TIAM-MagPIE-LPJmL (WP7) • E. REMINDR-GENIEEm (WP8) • F. REMINDR-Magicc6-ClimGEN-LPJmL-MagPIE-REMINDR • etc.
