RAPID: Developing a Community Aquaplanet Model

在这个RAPID项目下，社区大气模型（CAM4）和CAM5的水行星配置的完整记录的社区版本将为下一个版本的社区地球系统模型（CESM）及时开发，目前计划于2016年夏季发布。该模式既可以用规定的海温运行，也可以耦合到板状混合层海洋。模型开发过程将包括收集输入以了解社区的需求以及数值实验以设计模型的最佳功能。国家大气研究中心（NCAR）的软件小组将促进该模型的开发，供社区使用；PI和她的团队将按照耦合模型比对项目（CMIP6）协议进行Klima （DECK）的诊断、评估和表征实验，并准备记录模型行为的手稿。该项目将产生一种工具，可供气候科学界的其他研究人员有效使用。

Under this RAPID project, a fully-documented community version of the aquaplanet configuration of the Community Atmospheric Model (CAM4) and CAM5 will be developed in time for the next version of the Community Earth System Model (CESM), currently scheduled for summer of 2016. The model can be run either with prescribed SST or coupled to a slab mixed-layer ocean. The model development process will include gathering input to understand the community's needs along with numerical experimentation to design the optimal functionality of the model. The software group at National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) will facilitate the development of the model for community use; the PI and her team will perform Diagnostic, Evaluation and Characterization of Klima (DECK) experiments following the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6) protocols and prepare manuscripts documenting the model's behavior. The project will result in a tool that can be effectively used by other researchers in the climate science community.
