Dynamics Research develops and maintains
the dynamical core of the Met Office's Unified Model and undertakes research on numerical techniques for use in future cores.
Wang et al. (2012b) force
the dynamical core of an atmospheric general circulation model with warming in the tropical troposphere that mimics the effects of climate change there.
After looking at the various elements of the climate models, they judged that there was little to do with
the dynamical core of the atmospheric model (that it was quite mature and performing quite well), although there were issues with the parameterizations of convection and the atmospheric boundary layer.

Subtle

The meeting will mainly cover the following themes, but can include other topics related to understanding and modelling the atmosphere: ● Surface drag and momentum transport: orographic drag, convective momentum transport ● Processes relevant for polar prediction: stable boundary layers, mixed - phase clouds ● Shallow and deep convection: stochasticity, scale - awareness, organization, grey zone issues ● Clouds and circulation feedbacks: boundary - layer clouds, CFMIP, cirrus ● Microphysics and aerosol - cloud interactions: microphysical observations, parameterization, process studies on aerosol - cloud interactions ● Radiation: circulation coupling; interaction between radiation and clouds ● Land - atmosphere interactions: Role
of land processes (snow, soil moisture, soil temperature, and vegetation) in sub-seasonal to seasonal (S2S) prediction ● Physics - dynamics coupling: numerical methods, scale - separation and grey - zone, thermodynamic consistency ● Next generation model development: the challenge
of exascale,
dynamical core developments, regional refinement, super-parametrization ● High Impact and Extreme Weather: role
of convective scale models; ensembles; relevant challenges for model development
Climate modelers that work on the
dynamical core obvious know about these issues, but this is a small fraction
of the people that actually use climate model results.
A unified treatment
of weather and climate models (i.e. the same
dynamical cores for the atmosphere and ocean are used for models across the range
of time scales) transfers confidence from the weather and seasonal climate forecast models to the climate models used in century scale simulations.
Our approach has been to develop two models with different ocean
dynamical / physical
cores while keeping all other components the same in order to test the sensitivity
of our results to our assumptions inherent in our ocean configuration.
This will require the refactoring
of existing
dynamical cores, or the development
of new ones.
As the
dynamical response to volcanics, is similar to the solar cycle eg Ruzmaiken 2004 (effects on the NAM) the models have significant issues, which as most probably due to the primitive behavior
of the dynamic
core.
Multi-decadal regime shift — chaotic — unpredictable — involving abrupt shifts in ocean and atmospheric circulation — show the
dynamical mechanism at the
core of climate on a global scale.
The
dynamical core, physical parameterizations, and basic simulation characteristics
of the atmospheric component AM3
of the GFDL global coupled model CM3.
The general modelling techniques used in the atmospheric
dynamical core, and the treatment
of unresolved degrees
of freedom are fairly standard as a general approach across many different applications
of fluid dynamics.
If numerical methods can not accurately compute the solution
of the basic
dynamical system (so called
dynamical cores) either because
of ill posedness, fast exponential growth, or inadequate resolution to properly resolve the rapid nonlinear cascade
of the vertical component
of vorticity (requires unphysically large dissipation to overcome), then adding necessarily unphysical parameterizations to overcome these deficiencies can not lead to a correct physical solution as the resolution is reduced.
The reason I ask these questions is that I am convinced that there is a fundamental limit to the predictability
of the
dynamical «
core» equations (continuity, momentum, energy) due to the ** nonlinearity **
of the system.
The resolution issue is more complicated than the
dynamical core issue, largely because
of clouds (finer resolution buys you much better clouds).
Note that a
dynamical core is not suppose to use any form
of dissipation (explicit or implicit), but clearly they are present in one (or more) forms in the
dynamical cores for reasons that will be discussed in detail.
The issues can be understood from the simple equations I gave and an appropriate discussion
of the gimmicks that are used in the
dynamical core manuscript on this thread.
(vs. Reynolds average like) and b) what magnitude
of turbulent diffusivities are introduced in the
dynamical core region
of the model, and how do those compare with estimates for kinematic based on scalings like u» * l', where u» gives a scale
of the turbulent fluctuations and l' is some sort
of integral scale.
For those that do not know my background, before I obtained my advanced degree, I coded a fourth order accurate hydrostatic
dynamical core in a week (including out
of memory buffering).
But the mathematical analysis
of the frequencies, the demonstrations
of the problems with the continuum systems using convergent numerical solutions on the Exponential thread, and the
dynamical core manuscript itself should make the issues very clear.
Even more
of interest is the discussion
of the sensitivity
of the
dynamical cores to different hyperviscosity coefficients beginning on page 38 (and there are other forms
of spectral and damping included in the EUL model).
Please ask Judith to stay on the topic
of dynamical cores and quit raising smokescreens to avoid the topic.
