Abstract:

The objective is to evaluate, and demonstrate the capabilities of a new generation of atmospheric dynamical systems that allow for variable resolution on the sphere or for limited area domains, are highly scalable, and eliminate or mitigate spurious problems near the poles of the globe. These next generation models are non-hydrostatic and valid for predictions ranging from nowcasting and weather time scales to seasonal and decadal climate scales. These new dynamical systems may comprise the atmospheric component of the multi-agency Earth System Prediction Capability.
