OLAM-SOIL Project: Linking OLAM with an Advanced Soil Modeling Platform (ASMP) for Soil Centered Representation of Large-scale Land-atmosphere Interactions

Hilton New Orleans Riverside
New Orleans Louisiana, United States
09 - 09 December 2017

Deadlines Abstract submission: The abstract submission deadline has passed Registration: Registration is now closed Official website https://soil-modeling.org Meeting contact Dani Or dani.or@env.ethz.ch

Training workshop on OLAM-SOIL: New Orleans part of the AGU fall meeting (December 9, 2017). Instructors and format: Drs. Robert Walko, Simone Fatichi and Stefan Kollet – demonstrations and hands-on examples (instructions for model pre-uploading will be provided to the registered participants). Participation: by invitation only (apply to dani.or@env.ethz.ch before October 20, 2017) free of charge.

OLAM is a state-of-the-art global model that features local mesh refinement and a full set of physical processes (e.g., dynamics, radiative transfer and precipitation) designed for global, mesoscale, and microscale land and atmosphere simulations. OLAM was originally based on RAMS but employs more advanced numerical algorithms and sophisticated grid representations. Soil and groundwater capabilities of OLAM are being revised in a project called: OLAM-SOIL. The goals are to improve land-atmosphere interactions in OLAM-SOIL by incorporating advanced representation of soil processes, towards a new global Advanced Soil Modeling Platform (ASMP). Zooming capabilities and handling of soil and subsurface processes makes OLAM-SOIL an ideal tool for regional studies centering on soil processes (e.g., irrigation water management, future crops, etc.). The OLAM-SOIL project was conceived in collaboration with GEWEX-SOILWAT initiative and the International Soil Modeling Consortium (ISMC). OLAM-SOIL development is a collaboration between University of Miami, Forschungszentrum Juelich GmbH); International Soil Reference and Information Centre and ETH Zurich. The OLAM-SOIL Team
