CM1 Numerical Model, Release 16 (cm1r16) 6 February 2012 Acknowledgments: Many people and organizations have contributed to this numerical model by providing code, feedback, and suggestions, or by testing the code on their applications. Especially thanked are Peter Bannon, J. Michael Fritsch, Matthew Gilmore, Richard James, Daniel Kirshbaum, Ted Mansell, Marcello Miglietta, Hugh Morrison, Chris Nowotarski, Leigh Orf, Matt Parker, Richard Rotunno, Jerry Straka, Mark Straka, Gregory Thompson, Lou Wicker, and Bob Wilhelmson. Some code in CM1 was adapted from other numerical models, including: - The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model (land-surface model, surface layer model, ocean mixed-layer model, several microphysics schemes) - The Advanced Regional Prediction System (ARPS), which is developed by the Center for Analysis and Prediction of Storms at the University of Oklahoma (atmospheric radiation codes) The National Science Foundation (NSF) has supported George Bryan during the development of this code through grants ATM-9806309 and ATM-0133506 and by NSF's support of the National Center for Atmospheric Research.
