Nonhydrostatic ICosahedral Atmospheric Model
(NICAM)
  • Introduction
  • Nonhydrostatic modeling
  • Icosahedral grid modeling
  • Runs on ES

3
Motivation
  • Mission
  • Development of a high resolution atmospheric
    global model on the Earth Simulator
  • 10 km or less in horizontal, 100 levels in
    vertical
  • Cloud resolving global model
  • Climate study
  • Strategy of development
  • Quasi-uniform grid the icosahedral grid
  • Spectral method is inefficient in high resolution
    simulations.
  • Legendre transformation
  • Massive data transfer between computer nodes
  • The latitude-longitude grid point method has the
    pole problem.
  • Severe limitation of time interval by the CFL
    condition.
  • Inhomogeneous near the poles.
  • Non-hydrostatic equations system a new
    conservative scheme

    velocity not for pressure

    can be introduced.
  • Conservation of the domain integrals.
  • The finite volume method using flux form
    equations of density, momentum and total energy.
  • Tracer advecion
  • Third order upwind, or UTOPIA
  • Consistency with Continuity
  • Exact treatment of moist thermodynamics (Ooyama
    1990, 2001).
  • Dependency of latent heat on temperature and
    specific heats of water substance
  • Transports of water, momentum, and energy due to
    rain.

Outline of an icosahedral grid modeling
Icosahedral grid modeling

  • Advection terms and Coriolis term
  • Life cycle of extratropical cyclones experiment
  • Held and Suarez experiments

19
Grid Generation Method
  • Grid generation
  • Each side of icosahedron whose vertices are on a
    sphere is projected onto the sphere. (glevel-0)
  • By connecting the mid-points of the geodesic
    arcs, four sub-triangles are generated.
    (glevel-1)
  • By iterating this process, a finer grid
    structure is obtained. (glevel-n)
  • of gridpoints
  • 11 interations are requried to obtain the 5km
    grid interval.

Advection of momentum and Coriolis term
Only the advection term is evaluated with the
Cartesian components.

Grid Optimization by Spring Dynamics (2)
  • Another application of spring grid
  • We can construct the clustered grid by tuning the
    spring.
