|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
CONUS ref(100W,40N) | 28 km (ne128), 14 km (ne256), 7km (ne512), 3.5 km (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 (ne512), 3.5 km (ne1024), 1.75 km (ne2048) | 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). |  | Max Dinv-based element distortion: 3.02 | Zhang et al. (2023; in prep); Bogenschutz et al. (2023; in prep) | Jishi Zhang (zhang73@llnl.gov) |
Amazon ref(60W,5S) | 14 km (ne256), 7 km (ne512), 3.5 km (ne1024) | 28 km (ne128) | Large high resolution region over Amazon |  | TBD | ||
