Contributions to the DOE Climate Contributions to the DOE Climate Change Prediction Program (CCPP)Change Prediction Program (CCPP)
Develop climate modeling capability that takes advantage of new generation parallel architecture supercomputers
Build on the previous DOE CHAMMP modeling developments
Develop model components and coupled models that can be used for energy policy, IPCC, and future National Assessments
HistoryHistoryCSM1 and PCM1 CSM1 and PCM1
Built for vector/parallel Computers system

NCAR ocean model Sea ice dynamics of
Flato-Hibler dynamics and simplified thermodynamics

Parallel Ocean Program (POP)
Sea ice Model -Naval Postgraduate School model: viscous plastic dynamics; simplified thermodynamics
Coupler Overview• Enables coupled model to be
constructed from independent components
• Controls execution of component models
• Computes interfacial fluxes
• Implements conservative mapping of fluxes of momentum, energy, and water between different grids

Coupler: Design Goals• Support both sequential & distributed execution
• High-performance scalable parallel implementation of performance-sensitive regridding and communication operations
– Address parallelism and load balance issues
• Run-time rather than compile-time specification of processor allocations
• Support for stand alone execution
Merging of CSM and PCM
Agreement to use the same model components
CSM, PCM, and DOE lab staff will develop a merged flux coupler b– ongoing SciDAC team of NCAR and DOE laboratory involvement
Full merger occurs when the CCSM is available for climate change simulations and the new flux coupler
NSF and DOE efforts may use different resolutions with DOE emphasis on high resolution studies for regional climate change studies

Both prominent in the IPCC Third Assessment Report (2001)
Both represented in the IPCC Data Distribution Centre (Hamburg)
Both represented in the CLIVAR Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP): CMIP1, CMIP2, CMIP2+
Access to CSM: via NCAR (CSM web page)
Access to PCM: runs archived at PCMDI (contact Mike Wehner: [email protected])

Future Developments and Simulations
More simulations with Black Carbon distributions in PCM1 over entire globe
Higher resolution atmosphere -T85d simulations
Improved archival and cataloging of large data sets - EARTHGRID/DOE/
Simulations related to DOE mission on energy use impacts on the climate system - ACPI demonstration project
Work with statistical community on signal to noise
CCSM2 climate change simulations early next year
Why T85?Why T85?
Improved regional simulation of climate change.
Possible improvement of the winds in the Arctic which influence strongly the sea ice distribution.
Improvement of orographic precipitation distributions.
Improved simulations of the ocean/sea ice close to coasts.
I have a Dream!
