1 Reduced Complexity Frameworks for Exploring Physics Dynamics Coupling Sensitivities Kevin A. Reed & Adam R. Herrington School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences Stony Brook University, Stony Brook, New York, USA July 10th,
2 Motivation: Extreme Weather and Climate Resolution é, better representation of: Extreme weather events Land-surface processes Topography Atm/ocn/ice/lnd interfaces Chemical emission/transport/reactions/removal OLR (W/m 2 ) 4000 km Courtesy of Colin Zarzycki (NCAR) July 10th,
3 Motivation: Resolution Sensitivity in CAM CAM4 CAM deg. (25 km) 1 deg. (100 km) July 10th, 2018 [Bacmeister et al. 2014, J. Climate] 3
4 Motivation: Resolution Sensitivity in CAM4 Change in convective precipitation Change in stratiform (large-scale) precipitation July 10th, 2018 [Herrington & Reed 2017, J. Climate] 4
5 How are GCMs evaluated? Physics-Dynamics Coupling? Utilize a test hierarchy Increasing Complexity 2D Shallow Water Test Cases Dry Dynamical Core Test Cases Aqua-Planet Experiment AMIP Deterministic tests Tests of the statistical behavior (model climate ) July 10th, 2018 [Reed & Jablonowski 2012, JAMES] 5
6 Scale sensitivity in CAM5 Aqua-Planet Temperature tendency from the physical parameterizations (black), vertical pressure velocity from the dynamical core (colors) Magnitude of vertical velocities increase with resolution Horizontal scale of the physics forcing decreases with resolution July 10th, 2018 [Herrington & Reed 2018, JAMES] 6
7 How are GCMs evaluated? Physics-Dynamics Coupling? Utilize a test hierarchy Increasing Complexity 2D Shallow Water Test Cases Dry Dynamical Core Test Cases Aqua- Planet + Simplified Boundary Conditions Aqua- Planet Experiment AMIP Deterministic Tests Additional Complexities Tests of Statistical Behavior July 10th, 2018 [Updated from Reed & Jablonowski 2012, JAMES] 7
8 Design of RCE Experiments NCAR s Community Atmosphere Model version 5 (CAM 5). The SE dynamical core with 30 vertical levels is used at the horizontal resolutions of: ne=30 (~100 km) => with reduced Earth radius ne=120 (~25 km) Full physics in Aquaplanet mode is used, with a simplified ocean covered Earth and constant SST of 29 o C. No rotation effects (i.e., 10 deg. N). Diurnally varying, spatially uniform insolation (~340 W/m 2 ). No direct and indirect effects of aerosols. Tuning parameters are set to ne=30 configuration for all simulations. Such a setup mimics similar simulations with limited-area or cloud-resolving models, but at a relatively lower resolution. July 10th,
9 RCE: Resolution Comparison 6-hr Avg. Precipitation (mm/day) ne30 (~100 km) ne120 (~25 km) July 10th, 2018 [Reed et al. 2015, JAS] 9
10 Reduced Planet RCE: Resolution Dependence Scale Awareness July 10th, 2018 [Reed and Medeiros 2016, GRL] 10
11 How Do we evaluate GCMs? Physics-Dynamics Coupling? Utilize a test hierarchy Increasing Complexity 2D Shallow Water Test Cases Dry Dynamical Core Test Cases Dynamical Core + Moist Simplified- Physics Test Cases Aqua- Planet + Simplified Boundary Conditions Aqua- Planet Experiment AMIP Deterministic Tests Additional Complexities Tests of Statistical Behavior July 10th, 2018 [Updated from Reed & Jablonowski 2012, JAMES] 11
12 Think Back to the CAM5 Aqua-Planet Resolved vertical pressure velocity (colors) Potential Temperature perturbation from parameterizations (color) with Deep convective mass fluxes (black contour) July 10th, 2018 [Herrington & Reed 2018, JAMES] 12
13 The thought... Hypothesize D proportional to Δx in aqua-planets & and that their equilibrated solutions are described by the scaling: W ~ 1/Δx July 10th, 2018 [modified after Jeevanjee and Romps 2015] 13
14 The thought... Aqua-planet solutions This scaling over-``predicts the vertical velocity response to horizontal resolution on aqua-planets... Scaled to high-res July 10th, 2018 [Herrington & Reed 2017, J. Climate] 14
15 Design of Idealized Bubble Experiments NCAR s Community Atmosphere Model version 5 (CAM 5). The SE dynamical core with 30 vertical levels is used at the horizontal resolution of ne=30 (~100 km). The radius of the Earth is then decreased to mimic increase resolution. Select physics (i.e., none (dry), simple condensation, or stratiform precip only) in is used, with a simplified ocean covered Earth and constant SST of 29 o C. No rotation effects. Any tuning parameters are set to ne=30 configuration for all simulations. Such a setup mimics similar to previous work with bubble experiments, but to include moisture! July 10th, 2018 [Herrington & Reed 2018, JAMES] 15
16 Design of Idealized Bubble Experiments July 10th, 2018 [Herrington & Reed 2018, JAMES] 16
17 Reduced Complexity Dynamical Core Physics Process Variable Interaction July 10th,
18 Scaling with Bubble Test: Dry and Simple Physics RED: Consider the dry SE dynamical core only BLUE: Couple with a large-scale condensation routine from Reed and Jablonowski (Model the environment/ bubble after aqua-planets) The scaling works, even with moisture!! July 10th, 2018 [Herrington & Reed 2018, JAMES] 18
19 Test the Scaling: Choice of Physics Time-Step Conventionally, physics packages only update the state periodically Incrementally increase the physics time-step (dycore Δt = 75 s) July 10th, 2018 [Herrington & Reed 2018, JAMES] 19
20 Test the Scaling: Choice of Dynamical Core Is this sensitive to the choice of dynamical core and therefore potentially physics-dynamics coupling decisions? Results are similar with CAM-FV core! July 10th, 2018 [Herrington & Reed 2018, JAMES] 20
21 Test the Scaling: Choice of Hyperviscosity Coeficient Recover the scaling by reducing the horizontal hyper-viscosity coefficients (for specific humidity, only). July 10th, 2018 [Herrington & Reed 2018, JAMES] 21
22 Relate back to Aquaplanet? What if we rescale the more complex Aqua-planet simulations? Need to build up additional complexity! July 10th, 2018 [Herrington & Reed 2018, JAMES] 22
23 How Do we evaluate GCMs? Physics-Dynamics Coupling? Utilize a test hierarchy Increasing Complexity 2D Shallow Water Test Cases Dry Dynamical Core Test Cases Dynamical Core + Moist Simplified- Physics Test Cases Aqua- Planet + Simplified Boundary Conditions Aqua- Planet Experiment AMIP Deterministic Tests Additional Complexities Tests of Statistical Behavior July 10th, 2018 [Updated from Reed & Jablonowski 2012, JAMES] 23
24 Simple-Physics Dynamical Core Physics Process Variable Interaction July 10th,
25 Simple-Physics Dynamical Core Comparison Coupling Role? Wind Speed (m/s) At Day 10 Differing strengths and shapes: FV & SE at 0.25 o ( 28 km) EUL & SLD at T340 ( 39 km) July 10th, 2018 [Reed & Jablonowski 2012, JAMES] 25
26 DCMIP-2016: Dynamical Core Intercomparison Project Wind Speed (m/s) At Day 10 Differing strengths and shapes: Various Models from around the world at 0.5 o ( 56 km) July 10th, 2018 [Reed et al. 2018, in prep. ] 26
27 Final Thoughts Standard and reduced complexity CAM simulations show a sensitivity to horizontal resolution. The magnitude of this sensitivity is not expected from simple scaling arguments Isolating interactions between a dynamical core and moisture processes using simplified physics packages can reveal aspects of the physics-dynamics coupling that impact this resolution sensitivity (i.e., coupling frequency!). Reduced complexity testbeds are a useful tool (with quick turn around times) to test/understand physics-dynamics coupling, since they can be analyzed more easily than traditional climate modeling approaches. kevin.a.reed@stonybrook.edu July 10th,
