Multi-scale Predictability with a New Coupled Non-hydrostatic Global Model over the Arctic Annual Report

The primary objective is to test a new atmospheric nonhydrostatic dynamical core from the Model for Prediction Across Scales (MPAS), embedded within the Community Atmosphere Model (CAM) of the Community Earth System Model (CESM), on medium to long range weather prediction (week months) focusing on t...

Description
Summary:The primary objective is to test a new atmospheric nonhydrostatic dynamical core from the Model for Prediction Across Scales (MPAS), embedded within the Community Atmosphere Model (CAM) of the Community Earth System Model (CESM), on medium to long range weather prediction (week months) focusing on the Arctic region. In applying our primary objective to a relevant science application over the Arctic, we are also seeking to gain a better understanding of Arctic processes with potential implications of improving predictability of the Arctic system.
