Source Code Administration Starting point last autumn: COSMO-Model 4.0 including: Runge-Kutta dynamics; high-resolution applications Climate mode functionality INT2LM 1.6: on the way to full climate mode functionality Plans for the year 2007/08: Consolidation of the schemes Finish INT2LM to work fully in climate mode Include new components (2-moment microphysics, COSMO-ART) 15.-19.09.2008 10th COSMO General Meeting --- Cracow, Poland

Source Code Administration COSMO-Model 4.1/4.2: (05.12.07) Bug fixes for reproducibility (DA, RK, SL-adv) Calculation of supercell detection indices Changes in the gust parameterization Brightband detection in radar data COSMO-Model 4.3: (22.02.08) Changed computation of 2m Temperature 15.-19.09.2008 10th COSMO General Meeting --- Cracow, Poland

Source Code Administration COSMO-Model 4.4: (16.07.08) Changed treatment of convective cloud condensate in the Tiedtke convection scheme Changed structure of advection routines in the RK dynamics for a better optimization Optimizations for a better vectorization COSMO-Model 4.5: (05.09.08) Reading observations from a NetCDF file Correction for computing reference pressure on half levels Introduction of the SSO scheme Implemented alternative reference atmosphere Further optimizations for RK dynamics and vectorization 15.-19.09.2008 10th COSMO General Meeting --- Cracow, Poland

Source Code Administration INT2LM 1.7 (23.11.07) Additional humidity splitting after balancing / filtering pp Implemented several options for treatment of deep-soil and plant characteristics (for CCLM) Implemented „Ensemble Mode“ to provide different boundary conditions to the COSMO-Model INT2LM 1.8 (26.05.08) Optimizations for vectorization Interpolation of qr and qs from the GME grid Read new external parameters (for SSO, topographical corrections) Adaptations for climate mode 15.-19.09.2008 10th COSMO General Meeting --- Cracow, Poland

Source Code Administration Officially tested and distributed in Dec 2007: COSMO-Model 4.2 and INT2LM 1.7 Development version distributed in March 2008 COSMO-Model 4.3 Development versions (not distributed): COSMO-Model 4.4, 4.5 and INT2LM 1.8 Work is going on to implement 2-moment microphysics COSMO-ART Official release in autumn 2008! 15.-19.09.2008 10th COSMO General Meeting --- Cracow, Poland

Web Page Administration Last years requirements from STC Meeting Want to see a detailed description of the subtasks FTEs are only counted if visible work has been done Want to see a perfect web site next year 15.-19.09.2008 10th COSMO General Meeting --- Cracow, Poland

Web Page Administration Contents Management: Changed structure of the home-page a bit Highlights of updated pages: COSMO Tasks Working Groups Priority Projects Operational (Applications; Namelist input for COSMO, INT2LM) User Support Training We decided not to use a Contents Management System, but the „editable pages“ Still missing are the updates for COSMO-Model, Publications, Collaborations 15.-19.09.2008 10th COSMO General Meeting --- Cracow, Poland

Web Page Administration Technical Administration: Many changes and implementations necessary for Restructuring (no more public and private pages visible) implementing editable pages implementing excel functionality implementing Namelist Input functionality Connection to Greek server much faster since several months 15.-19.09.2008 10th COSMO General Meeting --- Cracow, Poland

Web Page Administration Could we fulfill the requirements from STC? Want to see a detailed description of the subtasks Ok. FTEs are only counted if visible work has been done I think: Ok. Want to see a perfect web site next year well….there sure is room for improvement! 15.-19.09.2008 10th COSMO General Meeting --- Cracow, Poland

10th COSMO General Meeting --- Cracow, Poland Documentation New versions of the User Guides for the COSMO-Model and the INT2LM (out of date since last week, Sorry) 2 COSMO Newsletters No. 7: April 2008 No. 8: August 2008 2 COSMO Technical Reports No. 10: December 2007 No. 11: August 2008 15.-19.09.2008 10th COSMO General Meeting --- Cracow, Poland

10th COSMO General Meeting --- Cracow, Poland WG 6 Activities We concentrated solely on the Support Activities WG 6 Activities will be started again (hopefully) in the coming year 15.-19.09.2008 10th COSMO General Meeting --- Cracow, Poland
