OBJECTIVES OF THE DRAKKAR WORKSHOP 1)
To review the scientific and technical progresses achieved with the
Drakkar hierarchy of model configurations, with as main objective to
identify its strengths and weaknesses.
2) To share expertise regarding "working with NEMO based configurations" 3) To analyse the appropriateness of the present hierarchy of models for the scientific projects (including MyOcean) of the various groups. 4) To identify and prioritise model improvements and new developments that DRAKKAR would like to see implemented in 2010. 5) To think about the long-term outlook of these developments (4 to 10 years time frame). PROGRAMME
OVERVIEW (see complete programme
below, pdf file)
1 - Results Session (Monday 1 February) SHORT presentations (10 to 15 mn max) of
interannual and sensitivity experiments
carried out with the hierarchy of configurations. Emphasis should be
given to results that :
-
illustrate
and
rationalise the sensitivity of the model solution to parameterisations,
resolution and atmospheric forcing.
- identify strong and weak points of these simulations in order to suggest where improvements are required (weak points), and where results yield publications (strong points). 2 - Project Session (Tuesday 2 February) 2.1 Group projects: Presentations (5mn to 10 mn) of the 2010 projects of the participating groups, and of the DRAKKAR configuration they plan to use. - Session on ORCA025 and lower
resolution configurations (joint between DRAKKAR&MYOCEAN):
Improvements to
the configurations, coordinated
sensitivity experiments, coupling with sea ice models (LIM3, CICE,
...),
biogeochemical models (PISCES, MEDUSA,
...), atmospheric models, ocean reanalyses (ESSC, MERCATOR,...)
2.3
General discussion: - Session on AGRIF: status and plans for the next 2 years - Session on ORCA12 (joint DRAKKAR&MYOCEAN): Status and coordinated plans with this configurations for the next 2 years. -
Improvements required both
for climate applications (IPCC, coupled simulations, long reanalysis)
as well
as short term forecasts and reanalysis of the recent years
- Strategy for coordinated activities in 2010 (DRAKKAR and MyOcean) 3
- Long term outlook and technical
sessions (Wednesday 3 February - until 4 pm)
Long term outlook for
DRAKKAR (4-10 years)
-
Short presentation by each group about long-term perspectives and
evolution in
their modelling activities, -
Main obstacles to overcome (funding, resources, technical problems). -
Discussion: can a collective strategy help us address these issues? Technical sessions (in parallel, and
possibily in parrallel with the "long term outlook" session) - NEMO (with Rachid) - AGRIF (with
Laurent) - ORCA12 (with Jean
Marc and Claude) |
