13-14.05.02: Dynamical core workshop

Visions for a GCM suitable for climate research and NWP


Purpose

The aim of this workshop is to discuss the needs and visions for a general circulation model that is suitable for climate research and numerical weather prediction at the same time. Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD) and MPI for Meteorology are starting the development of a new such GCM including a new dynamical core, and we would like to exchange opinions on what will be required in models for NWP and climate research in 5 years from now. ...
