First Breakout (Tues., June 27, 9:40 am MDT)
Plenary Room, Vail/Steamboat
topic | leads | time | notes (e.g., what material would be useful to lead discussion?) | |
---|---|---|---|---|
9:40 | Tropical-to-Polar Teleconnections: Does E3SM produce verifiable teleconnections in ice sheet and sea ice mass balance, or our best representation of them, in both hemispheres? | 10 min intro + 10 min discussion | ||
10:00 | Exclusion Experiments: Can we devise a series of physics exclusion experiments to help pinpoint relevant problems to polar bias and skill? Exclusion experiments test the response of the system to changes in inputs. Examples include: A. Starting from a spun up state, and then: 1) turning off all fluxes in individual components (flywheel isolation), 2) turning off the sun (system spin down), 3) turning off individual incoming fluxes for the ocean, sea ice, land etc (component spin down). B. Starting from rest: 1) Running the whole model without solar input (system stay-at-rest), 2) Running with all component fluxes turned off (component stay-at-rest type 1), 3) Running individual components with no flux input (component stay-at-rest type 2). | 10 min intro + 10 min discussion | ||
10:20 | Infrastructure Needs: What infrastructure improvements, including changes to model output, coupled testing, are needed to help reach our science objectives? | 10 min intro + 10 min discussion |
Second Breakout (Wed., June 28, 8:00 am MDT)
Breakout Room 2, Telluride
topic | leads | time | notes (e.g., what material would be useful to lead discussion?) | |
---|---|---|---|---|
8:00 | Towards Improved Model Skill and Reduced Bias: What new physics are candidates for reducing polar biases and improving polar skill? | 10 min intro + 10 min discussion | ||
8:20 | Resolution vs. Numerics & Physics: What aspects of the numerics are known to need improvement, and where is there no substitute for, and dependence on, resolution? | 10 min intro + 10 min discussion | add Alice here to / instead (as co-lead)? | |
8:40 | Polar Contributions to V3: How are we contributing to the V3 release and the large ensemble? How do these efforts mesh with the polar simulation campaign. | 10 min intro + 10 min discussion |
