Estonian – Finnish workshop on aerosol feedback in atmospheric models

Tartu, Estonia, 25 May 2012

Main focus:

How to apply the research potential of University of Tartu in cooperation with Finnish Meteorological Institute and Estonian Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology for introducing the aerosol feedback into meteorological modelling practice during next 1 – 2 years.

Meeting venue

Institute of Physics, University of Tartu, Tähe str. 4 Tartu.

Agenda

Start 12.00

Rein Rõõm: an advection scheme of a passive scalar for HIRLAM model.

Mikhail Sofiev: options of offline vs. online coupling of SILAM and HIRLAM to introduce the feedback mechanisms into meteorological modelling.

Discussion: options and ways to introduce feedback into HIRLAM model. Possible approaches:

1. based on advection scheme for HIRLAM;

2. based on coupling HIRLAM with SILAM;

3. based on EnviroHIRLAM by Danish Meteorological Institute;

4. more approaches, some synthesis of 1. – 3.?

Conclusions, principal decision on direction we start to work on.

End 17.00
