Enhancing Computational Models for Weather and Climate Forecasting
摘要
Assessing atmospheric models is essential to ensure that these models produce accurate weather and climate forecasts. The dynamical core, the fluid dynamics component of the model, is the building block of the model, and it, along with its ability to be coupled with physical parametrizations, needs to be evaluated systematically. This chapter outlines the author’s contributions to the Dynamical Core Model Intercomparison Project (DCMIP), which developed a series of dynamical core test cases that have now become a standard in the community, and his contribution to developing the transport component of NASA’s GEOS-5 linear model.
