Summary Contact Technical specs In/Output Process Testing Other Component info Also known as Model type Modular Model part of larger framework Note on status model Date note status model Incorporated models or components: Spatial dimensions Spatial extent Model domain One-line model description A GCM for Titan that incorporates aerosols Extended model description I am developing a recent adaptation of CAM 3.0 that has been converted to Titan by Friedson et al. at JPL. I am adding the aerosol microphysics from CARMA. Keywords: global climate, Name Eric Larson Type of contact Model developer Institute / Organization LASP/University of Colorado Postal address 1 392 UCB Postal address 2 Town / City Boulder Postal code 80309 State Colorado Country USA"USA" is not in the list (Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Andorra, Angola, Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Armenia, Australia, Austria, ...) of allowed values for the "Country" property. Email address larsonej@colorado.edu Phone 3034928207 Fax Supported platforms Mac OS Other platform Programming language Fortran77, Fortran90 Other program language Code optimized Multiple processors implemented Nr of distributed processors Nr of shared processors Start year development Does model development still take place? Yes If above answer is no, provide end year model development Code development status When did you indicate the 'code development status'? Model availability As code Source code availability (Or provide future intension) Through web repository Source web address http://www.ccsm.ucar.edu/models/atm-cam/ Source csdms web address Program license type Other Program license type other -- Memory requirements large Typical run time varies greatly Describe input parameters -- Input format ASCII Other input format Describe output parameters -- Output format Other output format netcdf Pre-processing software needed? No Describe pre-processing software Post-processing software needed? No Describe post-processing software Visualization software needed? Yes If above answer is yes IDL Other visualization software Describe processes represented by the model CAM treats radiative transfer, tidal forcing from Saturn, a planetary boundary layer and surface interaction, thermal conduction in the soil and chemistry. The CARMA part of the code does the aerosol microphysics involving emission, coagulation and sedimentation. Describe key physical parameters and equations -- Describe length scale and resolution constraints Currently there are only initial data sets for 10x15 degrees longitude and latitude. This model is meant for global scale dynamics. Describe time scale and resolution constraints I am running the model with dynamical time steps of 1800 seconds, but it only computes the radiative transfer every 200 timesteps. Describe any numerical limitations and issues This is a large model that takes significant computing resources to spin up run. Describe available calibration data sets Upload calibration data sets if available: Describe available test data sets Upload test data sets if available: Describe ideal data for testing Do you have current or future plans for collaborating with other researchers? I am collaborating with Jim Friedson and Bob West at JPL and Erika Barth at SWRI, as well as my adviser, Brian Toon. Is there a manual available? Yes Upload manual if available: Model website if any http://www.ccsm.ucar.edu/models/atm-cam/ Model forum / discussion board Comments NOTICE: code is free available through CCSM UCAR website: http://www.ccsm.ucar.edu/models/atm-cam/ No need to register This part will be filled out by CSDMS staff OpenMI compliant No but possible BMI compliant No but possible WMT component Not yet"Not yet" is not in the list (Yes, In progress, No but possible, No not possible) of allowed values for the "Code CMT compliant or not" property.
