CONUS ref(100W,40N) | 28 km (ne128), 14 km (ne256), 7km (ne512), 3.25 5 km e.g. “western boundary far enough offshore to let storms develop, eastern boundary beyond Sierra mountains”(ne1024) | 111km (ne32), 28 km (ne128) | Refinement region with complete coverage of CONUS using several coarse and fine resolutions | TBD | ||
2012 North American Derecho | 7 km, 3.25 km5 km, 1.75 km | 100 km (ne32) | Include the region important for the 2012 North American Derecho | Liu et al. (2023; under review) | ||
California | 3.25 km (ne1024) | 100 km (ne32) | High resolution over CA to capture topographic effects of precipitation, but small enough HR domain so that climate length simulations can be performed. Note that other experimental variants of this grid exist (contact Peter Bogenschutz for details). | Zhang et al. (2023; in prep); Bogenschutz et al. (2023; in prep) | Jishi Zhang (zhang73@llnl.gov) | |
Amazon ref(60W,5S) | 3.5 km (ne1024) | 100 km (ne32) | Large high resolution region over Amazon | TBD | ||
