A Flexible Atmospheric Modeling Framework for the CESM

摘要: We have created two global dynamical cores based on the unified system of equations and Z-grid staggering an icosahedral grid, which are collectively called UZIM (Unified Icosahedral Model). The z-coordinate version (UZIM-height) can be run in hydrostatic nonhydrostatic modes. sigma-coordinate (UZIM-sigma) runs only mode. super-parameterization has been included as a physics option both models. versions with SUZI. With SUZI-height, we completed aquaplanet runs. SUZI-sigma, making realistic climate simulations. SUZI-sigma includes topography SiB3 model to parameterize land-surface processes.
