Abstract

This computation involved: AM3, Atmospheric Component of the GFDL (Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory) Global Coupled Model deployed on GFDL (Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory) Computers. AM3 is the atmospheric component of the GFDL (Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory) global coupled model. It is a climate model with atmospheric chemistry modules, run in atmosphere-only mode; i.e. the model is driven by sea-surface temperature (SST) and sea-ice concentrations (SICs).

AM3 is the atmospheric component of the GFDL (Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory) global coupled model. It is a climate model with atmospheric chemistry modules, run in atmosphere-only mode; i.e. the model is driven by sea-surface temperature (SST) and sea-ice concentrations (SICs).The model explores how changes in the levels and locations of ozone precursor emissions, (such as nitrogen oxides NO and NO; referred to as NO, carbon monoxide (CO) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including methane, could affect tropospheric ozone abundances, from the pre-industrial period to future projections.

The Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) is a laboratory in the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)/Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR). Much current research within the laboratory is focused around the development of Earth System Models for assessment of natural and human-induced climate change. The GFDL has been utilizing High Performance Computing Systems for Numerical Modeling since the 1950s.

Much current research within the laboratory is focused around the development of Earth System Models for assessment of natural and human-induced climate change.
The GFDL is located at Princeton University's Forrestal Campus in Princeton, NJ.
Since March 2011, the GFDL no longer possesses an on-site supercomputer. They instead utilize a massively parallel Cray supercomputer with over 30,000 processor cores which is currently located at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
The GFDL has been utilizing High Performance Computing Systems for Numerical Modeling since the 1950s.

More Information (under review)


The Pre-industrial to end 21st century projections of tropospheric ozone from the Atmospheric Chemistry and Climate Model Intercomparison Project (ACCMIP) publication, contains further information on the AM3, atmospheric component of the GFDL (Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory) Global Coupled Model.


Operational Details
  1. GFDL (Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory) Computers
    GFDL is engaged in comprehensive long lead-time research to expand the scientific understanding of the physical processes that govern the behavior of the atmosphere and the oceans as complex fluid systems. These systems can then be modeled mathematically and their phenomenology can be studied by computer simulation methods.
