HIRLAM Physics Cleaning Week
26.-30. September 2005, KNMI, Netherlands
Working programme
(with links to presentations and notes)
Monday 26
9:00 Opening of the meeting, practical
arrangements
9:15 Introductory presentations (max
20min) and discussions
Laura: Remarks on HIRLAM physics cleaning (pdf)
Bent: What do the ALADIN reference thermodynamic equations and
interface rules mean for HIRLAM physics development?(pdf)
Sami: RADIA to ALADIN (pdf)
12:00 Lunch
13:00 Plans for the week, expected
outcome, working methods
Accepting a work plan for the week
Expected outcome of the meeting
Understanding, starting or continuing the cleaning work of HIRLAM
physics to suit the HIRLAM-ALADIN-AROME framework
Working paper on physics cleaning (draft: pdf tex)
Comments on HIRLAM-ALADIN physics plans 2006 and beyond (find three drafts here, under 'plans')
14:00 Dividing into the working teams:
- Surface analysis and model + physiography (ISBA, span, hdfg etc)
- Moist CBR and convection (CBR, STRACO/KF, future developments)
- Cloud microphysics and radiation (STRACO/KF, future developments
RADIA)
- From GEMINI to PHYS and back (PHCALL-PHTASK-PHYS and related) -
a separate team or a task for all teams?
Suggested work in teams
-
Discussing the general problems of overhaul, suggesting solutions
-
Analysing own code, possibly with the help of working paper questions
-
Based on the analysis, making a plan of cleaning and starting the work
-
Discussing and editing the working paper and HIRLAM-ALADIN plans
- meeting of teams, plans and practical arrangements for the week
- starting the work
15:00 Coffee break
15:30-17:30 First discussions of HIRLAM-ALADIN
physics plans 2006 and beyond
including also: current (short-term) problems + suggested
solutions
