Atmospheric Modeling BackgroundAtmospheric Modeling Background
1950s - : Beginning (Charney and von Neumann)
“To von Neumann, meteorology stood the most to gain from high speed computation”
1960-1990s: Expansion Phase
1990- Consolidation and Application
Climate modeling infrastructure in the US
CCSMUniversitiesDOE LabsPrivate Industries
Other Governmental LabsNASA: GSFC & GISSNOAA: GFDL & NCEPNAVY: ONR
CMMAP- CSU NSF STC
Abroad: UKMO, MPI, LMD, Japan, CCC, IAP…
The CCSM Infrastructure(http://www.ccsm.ucar.edu)
Models Organized and Managed by Working Groups (NCAR, Univ., Industries)
AtmosphereOceanLandSea IceChemistry
Coupler
CCSM Organized by Steering Committee and WG co-Chairs
Computational Resource Allocations:
Climate Simulation Laboratory (CSL)
Multi-agency computing facility for the Global Change Science Program of the United States
The DilemmaThe Dilemma
• Funding mechanism is not conducive Funding mechanism is not conducive to exploit new computing capabilityto exploit new computing capability
• Synergy of climate science & Synergy of climate science & computational science has been computational science has been difficultdifficult
This is also true for the Earth SimulatorThis is also true for the Earth Simulator
Proposal from the CCSM Atmospheric WG to CSL for 2007
The SBU/BNL Uniqueness:The SBU/BNL Uniqueness:
1.1. Bring climate scientists directly to the front of Bring climate scientists directly to the front of the NY Blue (Need IBM Help)the NY Blue (Need IBM Help)
2.2. Attack very specific problems in areas of Attack very specific problems in areas of existing strengthexisting strength
3.3. Have clearly defined goals and results to Have clearly defined goals and results to deliver deliver

Regional Climate Change and Energy ModelingRegional Climate Change and Energy Modeling
• MARKAL (MARKet ALlocation), an integrated energy, environment and economic model, examines market potential for energy technologies over a short-, medium- and long-term horizon under alternative policy scenarios within the entire energy system.
• Developed at BNL in 1970s, continuously updated/validated by the user community and used by more than 100 institutions in 55 countries
Global warming mitigation strategies with regional climate change as input
