RAPID: Developing a Community Aquaplanet Model

在这一快速项目下，社区大气模式(CAM4)和社区大气模式5(CAM5)的水行星配置的完整记录社区版本将及时为目前计划于2016年夏季推出的下一版本社区地球系统模式(CESM)编制。该模式既可以在规定的海温下运行，也可以耦合到平板混合层海洋中运行。模型的开发过程将包括收集信息以了解社区的需求，以及进行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和她的团队将根据耦合模型比对项目(CMIP6)协议对Klima(DECK)实验进行诊断、评估和表征，并准备记录模型行为的手稿。该项目将产生一种可被气候科学界其他研究人员有效使用的工具。

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.
