23 AMWG Breakout, CCSM Workshop June 25, 2002 AMWG Directions, Near Term Climate applications of CCSM impeded by: –Double ITCZ and extended cold tongue –Underestimation of tropical variability on short&MJO scales –Overestimation of land surface temperatures in winter –Underestimation of tropical tropopause temperatures –Biases in the eastern Pacific: BL clouds, surface fields The AMWG must focus on analyzing and addressing these errors (where possible), in collaboration with other working groups, as the highest priority. Immediate task: develop experimental strategies: –Alternative physics formulations –“Partial derivative experiments”

24 AMWG Breakout, CCSM Workshop June 25, 2002 AMWG Directions, Longer Term Physics: Incorporation of major aerosol species New radiation parameterizations Alternative formulations of convective processes and transport New formulations for boundary layer structure and cloud systems Incorporation of simplified tropospheric chemistry Creation of unified parameterizations for boundary layer clouds, cloud/radiation interactions Diagnostics: New frameworks for testing: o Assimilation/forecasting (DAO) o Initial error growth (CAGATE) Addition of EOS data, variability Dynamics: Exploration of new dycores (FV) Exploration of isentropic coordinates
