Global
Model Development

DEVELOPMENT OF A GLOBAL ATMOSPHERIC CIRCULATION MODEL: Development of a prototype of the "Next Generation" global climate models (GCMs). This dynamical core has the following attributes: global numerical domain, scalable parallel algorithm; full nonhydrostatic dynamics; semi-implicit/semi-Lagrangian discretization; and a stretched variable-grid. Future enhancements will include development of a parallel scalable code, implementation of a blend of explicit and parameterized physics, and exploration of adaptive grid algorithms.

Current Research

Application of the global shallow-water model to investigate the nature of barotropic orographic-dynamic interaction in the tropics
