Canadian Middle Atmosphere Model (CMAM) deployed on Canadian Centre for Climate Modelling and Analysis computing facility
Abstract
This computation involved: Canadian Middle Atmosphere Model (CMAM) deployed on Canadian Centre for Climate Modelling and Analysis computing facility. The Canadian Middle Atmosphere Model is a full general circulation model with on-line fully interactive chemistry involving 127 gas-phase and heterogeneous reactions. Thus, feedback between dynamics, chemistry and radiation occurs in every model time step.

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 Canadian Centre for Climate Modelling and Analysis (CCCma) is a division of the Climate Research Branch of Environment Canada. The CCCma carries out research in modelling and analysis. The CCCma develop computer models of the climate system to simulate global climate, regional climate, and climate change.
The Canadian Centre for Climate Modelling and Analysis (CCCma) is a division of the Climate Research Branch of Environment Canada.
The CCCma carries out research in modelling and analysis.
The modelling component involves;
Developing computer models of the climate system to simulate global climate, regional climate, and climate change
Attributing observed climate changes to specific causes
Predicting seasonal and longer term climate variations
In order to undertake this research, the CCCma has an ongoing model development programme. Over the years, models of increasing sophistication have been developed, permitting study of more complex climate questions.
Under the analysis component, CCCma
Analyses past and predicted climate variations to gain a deeper understanding of the climate system
Provides science based quantitative information to the national and the international community, notably coordinated model experiments organized by the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) and contributions to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
