Weather and Climate Modeling Across Scales: From Global to Convection-Permitting
Session ID#: 80373
Session Description:
Atmospheric processes operate across a wide spectrum of scales, ranging from thousands of kilometers to a handful of meters. Continuing increases in computing power have enabled models to resolve smaller scales of motion, either globally or regionally, at climate time scales. The ability to model smaller scales appropriately has been shown to improve simulations of convection, severe storms, orographic forcing, and their upscale effects to the large-scale circulation.
This session seeks contributions regarding the development or application of high-resolution simulations and multi-scale techniques for investigating weather and climate, such as the impact of climate change on processes at local scales (e.g., precipitation, hydrology, and ecosystems) and teleconnections across scales. We strongly encourage abstracts containing research related to variable resolution, non-hydrostatic modeling, or multiscale modeling framework techniques. We also invite papers addressing sensitivities arising from the responses of model physics and dynamics to multiple resolutions.
