Dividing the area into a grid of 210 - meter cells, they simulated ground motion for a magnitude 7 Seattle fault earthquake and then further subdivided into 5 - meter cells, applying anticipated amplification of shaking due to
the shallow soil layers.
The original proposal of a 15 inch cap of borrow
soil, with agricultural limestone and a bactericide below and revegetation by
shallow - rooting plants was determined to be «inadequate,... at the least, an additional
layer must be added that will act as a barrier for water, plant roots systems and burrowing animals».20 In response Cyprus - Amax proposed, in January 1995, a typical cap section which added a 30 - mil PVC liner overlaid by a geoweb drainage mat with a fabric cover below the 15 inch
soil cap.
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
