28.11.02: WG1 meeting at DWD Offenbach

Kaiserleistr. 42, 8th floor, room 810

Organizer:

Luca Bonaventura, bonaventura@dkrz.de, +49 40 41173-106

Purpose:

Build working ground for following months: find data structure and software design for prototype models, find equations for energy and moisture.


Schedule:

Nov. 28: Discussion on data structures and software design to be employed in ICON Organization of the preliminary phase for the development of the ICON prototypes

9.00 -12.00:
Short contributions aimed at outlining the basic components of a GRID derived data type (N.Botta), possible extensions of the ECHAM5 data structures (A.Rhodin, L.Bonaventura), model functionalities and 'top-down' software desing (Kirchner et al.), an example of parallel implementation of local, adaptive grid refinement (R.Hess).

> Botta: Software components for ICON prototypes (pdf)
> Kirchner, Rhodin, Kornblueh: Top down design (pdf)

13.30-17.00:
Joint outline of the basic components of a common GRID (and, possibly, DATA) derived data type.
Plan and milestones for joint work of smaller groups in the period December 2002-February 2003.
Targets for the priorities regarding discretization options.

Nov. 29: Discussion on the energy and moisture equations to be employed in ICON

9.00 -12.00:
Contributions on different formulations of the thermodynamic and moist equations (A.Bott, R.Klein) and on the convection parameterization in ECHAM5 (M.Giorgetta). Discussion.

> Bott: Modellgleichungen (pdf)

13.30-17.00:
Joint analysis of different formulations of the equations, links to different discretization options, reccommendations for ICON.

Deadline and targets for next meeting on wp1.
