CAM-MPAS HighResMIP documentation¶

Index¶

• Environment and Configuration
• Raw output variable
• Processed (CMOR) output (to be prepared)

• Climatology output (to be prepared)

• Problem with CAM prescribed aerosol - Illustration of the problem

Climatology diagnostics¶

• Created using the E3SM diagnostic package

  • Low resolution vs. Obs

  • High resolution vs. Obs

  • High resolution vs. Low resolution

JAMES manuscript test cases¶

• GF cannot be used with the FV core (need to modify code to get FV grid spacing as well as T and Q tendencies from FV)

Case Name	res	period	owner	notes
zmtest01_mp120a_ZM_MACv2SP	120km	1999-2010	ksa	Switch from GF to ZM deep convection
zmtest02_mp30a_ZM_MACv2SP	30km	2000-207	ksa	Switch from GF to ZM deep convection
fv1deg_ZM_MACv2SP	1 deg	not started, 1999-2010	ksa	Switch from MPAS to FV dycore and from GF to ZM convection
fv0.2deg_ZM_MACv2SP	0.25 deg	1999-2005	ksa	Switch from MPAS to FV dycore and from GF to ZM convection

Aerosol test cases¶

Case Name	res	period	owner	notes
HRMIP_mp120a_aero01	120km	1950	ksa	MACv2 off; understand CAM prescribed aerosol
HRMIP_mp120a_aero02	120km	1950	ksa	same as aero01 except that MACv2 is on (often crashes with no errors)
HRMIP_mp120a_aero03	120km	1950	ksa	MACv2 off; turn off random scaling in CAM prescribed aerosol
HRMIP_mp120a_aero04	120km	2000	ksa	MACv2 on; turn off random scaling in CAM prescribed aerosol
HRMIP_mp120a_aero05	120km	1950	ksa	MAM4 with MPAS - error reading dust input file
HRMIP_fv1deg_aero06	fv1deg	1950	ksa	MAM4 with FV and ZM; need to use the ksa/zm branch
