As the temporal scale is extended, the development of dynamic vegetation models, which respond to climate and human land use as well as other changes, is a central issue.
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
A new study explores the relative control of vegetation life cycles and meteorology in the climate - model context, and its implications for model development and complexity decisions.
In the vegetation models used here, NPP is responsive to climate and atmospheric CO2, both directly and through indirect effects on vegetation development.
New efforts are needed in the development of models, which successfully represent the space - time dynamics interaction between soil, climate and vegetation.
While this research has been underway, GFDL scientists have also embarked on extensive development of the land surface model, including integrated and detailed treatment of surface and groundwater hydrology as well as dynamic vegetation including the carbon cycle and human land use / alteration.
