Summary

 

The

purpose of this section is to summarize what capability is to be added to the ACME Ocean and Ice system through this design process. It should be clear what new code will do that the current code does not. Summarizing the primary challenges with respect to software design and implementation is also appropriate for this section. Finally, this statement should contain general statement with regard to what is “success.”

 

Requirements

Requirement: name-of-requirement-here

Date last modified: // date  
Contributors: @ name  (add your name to this list if it does not appear)

Each requirement is to be listed under a ”section” heading, as there will be a one-to-one correspondence between requirements, design, proposed imple- mentation and testing. Requirements should not discuss technical software issues, but rather focus on model capability. To the extent possible, require- ments should be relatively independent of each other, thus allowing a clean design solution, implementation and testing plan.

 

Algorithmic Formulations

For each requirement, there is a design solution that is intended to meet that requirement. Design solutions can include detailed technical discussions of PDEs, algorithms, solvers and similar, as well as technical discussion of performance issues. In general, this section should steer away from a detailed discussion of low-level software issues such as variable declarations, interfaces and sequencing.

 

Design and Implementation

Implementation: short-desciption-of-implementation-here

This section should detail the plan for implementing the design solution for requirement XXX. In general, this section is software-centric with a focus on software implementation. Pseudo code is appropriate in this section. Links to actual source code are appropriate. Project management items, such as svn branches, timelines and staffing are also appropriate. How do we typeset pseudo code?

importance of nutrient in regulating carbon(C)-climate feedbacks has been increasingly recognized. While ACME V0 includes prognostic nitrogen(N) cycle and C-N interactions, phosphorus(P), the most limiting nutrient in productive lowland tropical forests, has yet to be considered. Here we implement prognostic P cycle and C-N-P interactions into ACME land model. This implementation will lead to a more accurate representation of C-nutrient interactions in ACME.

Requirements

Requirement: Implement prognostic phosphorus cycle

Date last modified: 09/15/2015
Contributors: @ Xiaojuan Yang


All the needed phosphorus state and flux variables are added. Both geochemical and biological phosphorus processes are represented.

 

Requirement: Represent C-N-P interactions

Date last modified: 09/15/2015
Contributors: @ Xiaojuan Yang

This includes (1) P limitation on carbon cycle processes (2) biochemical mineralization through phosphatase activity

 

Requirement: Resolve N limitation vs P limitation

Date last modified: 09/15/2015
Contributors: @ Xiaojuan Yang

With both N and P in the model, N limitation vs P limitation is resolved to represent overall nutrient constraint on carbon cycle processes

 

Requirement: Model initialization for various P pools

Date last modified: 09/15/2015
Contributors: @ Xiaojuan Yang

Phosphorus cycle operates on geological time scales, it is not reasonable to spinup the model for tens of millions of years for model initialization. Instead we initialize the slow P pools globally with P maps that was generated(Yang et al., 2013)

Model simulated phosphorus pools and fluxes will be evaluated against available observations such as Hedley P database(Yang et al., 2011).  Other site level evaluations will be using  (1) fertilization experiment along Hawaii chronosequence (2) sites along a P availability gradient in the Amazon basin. ILAMB will be used for regional and global evaluations. Other remote sensing products will also be used.
