WRF-DFI project meeting – 20060724

 

Hans, Min, Ju-Won, Wei Wang

Lilly room, 3:30-4:00pm, Monday 24 July 2006

 

1.Work review

 

1.1. Backward Integration

 

Wei made modifications on implicit diffusion related files for the backward integration. Min did some tests and found the WRF model can integrate backward for longer than 10 hours without any problem. But diagnostic output is not available due to some compiling problem.

 

1.2 Single point calculation and diagnostics

 

Wei sent Ju-won some information about how to output a time series for a single model point. During WeiÕs vacation, Michael Duda may provide some help on this work if necessary.

2. Work plan for next 2 weeks

 

Wei: will be on vacation and scheduled to come back on 17 Aug.

 

Ju-Won:  work on the verification for DFL cycle runs; run single point diagnostics, if she still has some time.

 

Min: In addition to the 30 km domain, do backward integration test on 10 km domain. Plot some figures for backward integration fields, especially for divergence, hydrometeors (or just specific humidity), etc. Comparing the backward integration results with the analysis at the corresponding time. Check the advection for backward integration. Prepare the DFI codes.

 

Hans: review the results of verification scores for DFL tests and the diagnostic figures of backward integration.

3.AOB

 

We will have the next project meeting on: Tuesday 8 Aug, 2 pm, Lilly room.
