Organizational Issues

• name for the model?
• what tasks are done and should be closed?
• what tasks are active and need to continue?
  • short simulation strategies
  • regionally refined model
  • convection (replacement for ZM)
  • clouds/aerosols
  • scorecards
• what should we be doing that we are not doing?
  • Non-hydrostatic dycore?
  • different vertical coordinate?
• are we missing partnering with particular research groups or scientists?

Discussion about new capabilities for V3

See /wiki/spaces/ATM/pages/36865199

• Note the brainstorming breakout that does not involve Atm Leads (7-8PM wednesday, Breakout #5, see Brainstorming on next generation Atm Model)
• What needs model features need to be fixed?
  • pressure gradient term
  • sub-column treatment for radiation
    (convective/stratiform partitioning)
  • ?
• What physics is missing/deficient?
  • elevation classes
    • deep dive for v2 data structures and will intersect w the CMDV software project (Ghan, Goldhaber, Salinger, Taylor, Atm GLs)
    • Intersection with parallel/sequential splitting of physics processes?
  • cloud overlap (correlation length scales)
  • consistent treatment of cloud precipitation and aerosol scavenging
  • Improvements to aerosols
    • Prognostic aerosol surface area
    • Stratospheric aerosol treatments
    • Modify MAM aerosols to allow stratospheric aerosols
    • SOA
    • Brown Carbon
    • Nitrate
  • What software capabilities are missing?
  • More Atm Chemistry? 

Understanding the ACME model:

• Tier 1b diagnostics
• Using the ACME model to further ACME science that does not involve the coupled simulations
• Where would Atm Team like to take a lead in investigating coupled features?
  • ENSO?
  • Surface Mass Balance over Ice Sheets?
