  1. Collaborations Scientific Advisory Committee Meeting 13 April 2010

  2. Multi-Model Approach: Honest Broker(via Institutional Collaborations) • Community Climate System Model (CCSM; NSF) • Climate Forecast System (CFS; NOAA) • NOAA - Climate Test Bed • Modeling, Analysis and Prediction (MAP) (MERRA, GEOS5; NASA)

  3. Community Climate System Model • Led effort to correct tropical biases • Adaptation as seasonal prediction research tool • Participation • CCSM Advisory Board • Atmospheric Model Working Group • Land Model Working Group • Contributing to CPL7 and IE capability in CCSM code base (see PetaApps project) • Contributing to incorporation of superparameterization in CCSM code base (see CMMAP project)

  4. Climate Forecast System (CFS) • CFS1.0 (2005 version; used operationally for seasonal prediction) • 12 COLA Technical Reports produced based on CFS • 10 COLA scientists, 3 PhD students and 2 summer interns have used CFS • Diagnose/model initial tendency errors in GFS/CFS (DelSole CTB project) • Developed an interactive ensemble version of CFS • Many diagnostic and model sensitivity studies • Winter high-resolution experiments to complement summer runs made by NCEP • CFS2.0 (new GFS + MOM4; used in CFSRR; ready in May 2010) • Letter from L. Uccellini – COLA as “Research to Operations” partner • Collaborative research with EMC and CPC to use CFS2.0 to understand the weather-climate connection, including decadal prediction • CFS3.0 (2015??) • COLA will collaborate with EMC and CPC to design and develop next generation CFS

  5. Contributions to Climate Test Bed • Multi-model experiments • CCSM transition to operations (CTB-funded project with U. Miami) • GFDL CM2.1 transition to operations (collaboration with NCEP, GFDL) • Real-time seasonal predictionsfor CPC, IRI, and APCC • GrADS: • Used in CPC, NOMADS and other NOAA labs - Helps broaden the usage and impact of NOAA climate products • Adding GIS capability to enhance interoperability of CPC products with impacts and applications community (CTB-funded project) • Joint NCEP-COLA CTB Seminar Series

  6. CTB Seminar Series • 2007-2008 • CFS as a prediction system and research tool • Venue alternating between NCEP and COLA • NCEP Venue: seminars coordinated with CTB “Test and Evaluation Team” meetings for broader discussion following the seminars • 2008-2009 • Topics include: • CFS improvements (R2O) • MME - evaluation, consolidation techniques (R2O) • Climate Forecast Products (R2O) • Using CFS to do scientific research (O2R) • 2009-2010 • Venues now include COLA, NCEP, ESSIC, and GSFC

  7. NOAA OST maintains a web page for the extended summaries of CTB Joint Seminar Series (part of the Science and Technology Infusion Climate Bulletin assembled by Jiayu Zhou) http://www.nws.noaa.gov/ost/climate/STIP/fy09jsctb.htm

  8. Modeling, Analysis and Prediction (MAP) Program of NASA • New atmospheric reanalysis (MERRA) uses ESMF-based model (GEOS-5) – provides unique data set for evaluating high-resolution models • Global Land-Atmosphere Coupling Experiment (GLACE, collaboration with Randy Koster, GMAO) • COLA participants: Dirmeyer, Guo • Along with GSWP, showed that locations where soil moisture data appear most likely to have an impact on climate prediction are those sparsely-vegetated areas (grasslands, savanna, steppes), which are also the locations where a passive microwave satellite has a chance of getting good data • GLACE-2 – continuing collaboration with Koster to examine effect of soil moisture on prediction skill

  10. International CLIVAR Climate of the 20th Century Project (C20C) • COLA participants • Cash, Jin, Kinter • COLA hosts the project home page  • > 15 modeling groups from many countries • Australia, Brazil, China, France, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Russia, U.K., USA • Series of workshops organized jointly by COLA & Hadley Centre • 4th workshop held at COLA in 2007 • 5th workshop planned in Beijing on 19-22 April 2010 • Many-author papers have shown what can and cannot be attributed to variations and change in global SST and sea ice • Scaife et al. • Kucharski et al. • Zhou et al. • Grainger et al.

  11. PetaApps • COLA participants • Kinter, Stan • Several groups participating with NSF OCI funding • NCAR, UC Berkeley, U. Miami • Already had several impacts • Demonstrated efficacy of collaboration between modeling groups and computational science/software engineering groups • Highest resolution integration of CCSM (0.5 degree CAM + 0.1 degree POP) – interesting comparison with DOE Grand Challenge runs • Re-design of Flux Coupler for purposes of Interactive Ensemble (IE) led to high degree of efficiency in using O(6000 cores) • Serendipity: Design intended to support IE easily adapted to support EnKF for POP • Largest TeraGrid allocation (up to that time in 2009) of 35M SUs

  12. CMMAP • COLA participants • Stan, Kinter • NSF Science and Technology Center at CSU • Center for Multi-scale Modeling of Atmospheric Processes, D. Randall (PI) • Demonstrated improvement of coupled model (CCSM) simulation with explicit representation of clouds, despite very low resolution of host model (T42 CAM) PRAC – Blue Waters • COLA participants • Stan, Kinter • NSF Petascale Research on Blue Waters • ~320K cores IBM Power7 system at NCSA (Illinois) • Partners: • NCAR (Loft et al.) • Center for Multi-scale Modeling of Atmospheric Processes (D. Randall, R. Heikes) • U. Miami (Kirtman) • UC Berkeley (Collins, Yelick)
