ABC & MICS‐III Model Intercomparisons
Studies
–Global models
–Regional models
–Radiatve transfer models
– Regional Emissions – Regional Observations
MICS‐III ‐ Plans
Three topics will be covered
– Multiscale Model Intercomparison ‐ To evaluate strengths and weaknesses of current multiscale air quality models for air quality prediction and assessments and provide techniques to reduce uncertainty and improve performance in Asia.
– Emissions Intercomparison ‐ Understand present status of anthropogenic emission inventories in Asia by inter‐comparison of bottom‐up emission inventories and top‐
down estimates. – Air quality/climate ‐ Link emissions to SLCF (Aerosols & O3) distributions and subsequent radiative/”climate” effects.
Observations: EANET, National data, special events (Asian & Commonwealth Games, ..... )
Participants – expected to be > 20 based on two recent workshops Announcement/Launch – spring/summer 2012
ABC Modeling Activity – Interpret ABC Observations ‐ Support next round of impacts reports ABC Climate Observatories

Contact info ABC Modeling activity
Model format: NetCDF
– Spatial and vertical resolutions: 30‐280km over whole Asia (50E‐150E, 0‐50N), 12‐30 layers with sigma or hybrid sigma‐pressure.
– Output time interval: at least 3 hourly data
– Target period: 2000‐2010 (2006 and 2008 are used in Phase‐I)
• How the submissions are going
– 1) Get your own account on a ftp‐server in Univ. Tokyo ([email protected]‐tokyo.ac.jp)
– 2) Put/get model results on the ftp‐server only through a command “scp” from an external system with the registered, fixed IP address)
• what software/tools are available to intercompare results: – Every registered users can use the following machines:
• Frontend server: MacPro (8core), spec‐3GHz, memory‐8GB, >10TB, with software such as Intel Fortran, gnuplot, GrADS, … • Frontend server: MacPro (8core), spec‐3GHz, memory‐8GB, >10TB, with software such as Intel Fortran, gnuplot, GrADS, … • Storage: Power Managed Disk System (PMDS), 132TB.
