2016 Summer School and Dynamical Core Model Intercomparison Project; Boulder, Colorado; June 6-17, 2016

为了推进动力核心模型对比项目(DCMIP)并为学生提供独特的教育机会，为期两周的多学科暑期班和模型对比项目将于2016年6月6日至17日在国家大气研究中心(NCAR)举行。它将在以往相互比较努力的基础上，解决全球大气模型中的关键悬而未决问题，纳入国际参与，并为未来一代气候科学家提供独特的培训经验。特别注意简化物理参数化、物理-动力学耦合、非静力大气模拟和变分辨率全球模拟的作用。暑期班和模式比较项目将促进主动学习、创新、发现、指导和科学与教育的结合。研讨会将增进我们对以下方面的知识：(A)大气动力核心表现出的相对行为，(B)物理参数化和动力核心耦合机制之间的差异，以及(C)全球大气模拟中变分辨率精细化区域和过渡区的影响。值得注意的是，使用理想化的测试用例来隔离特定的现象，给了我们一个独特的机会来评估由于选择动态核心而产生的特定差异。研讨会的一个关键成果将是开发一套标准测试用例和一套基准模拟，可用于评估任何未来的动力核心。NSF的资金主要用于研究生和/或博士后的学习。

To advance the Dynamical Core Model Intercomparison Project (DCMIP) project and provide a unique educational opportunity for students, a multidisciplinary two-week summer school and model intercomparison project, will be held at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) June 6-17, 2016. It will build on previous intercomparison efforts by addressing key outstanding issues in global atmospheric models, incorporate international participation, and provide a unique training experience for the future generation of climate scientists. Special attention is paid to the role of simplified physical parameterizations, physics-dynamics coupling, non-hydrostatic atmospheric modeling and variable-resolution global modeling. The summer school and model intercomparison project promote active learning, innovation, discovery, mentorship and the integration of science and education.The workshop will advance our knowledge of (a) the relative behaviors exhibited by atmospheric dynamical cores, (b) differences that arise among mechanisms for coupling the physical parameterizations and dynamical core, and (c) the impacts of variable-resolution refinement regions and transition zones in global atmospheric simulations. Notably, the use of idealized test cases isolating specific phenomena gives us a unique opportunity to assess specific differences that arise due to the choice of dynamical core. A key outcome of the workshop will be the development of a standard test case suite and benchmark set of simulations that can be used for assessment of any future dynamical core.The NSF funding is primarily for the attendance of graduate and/or postdoctoral students.
