Hello, A change in allocation has been requested: Requester: raok (Rao Kotamarthi) Project: WRF-CHEM-GVAX Title: Weather and Aerosol forecast products for the Ganges Valley Aerosol Project Description: The Ganges Valley Aerosol eXperiment (GVAX), led by Dr. Rao Kotamarthi, will begin its one-year ground-based observation with the Atmospheric Radiation Monitoring (ARM) mobile facility at Nainital, India,starting June, 2011. This major field study involving multiple Department of Energy laboratories will focus on investigating the potential impact of aerosols on regional scale radiative forcing changes over the Ganges Valley. Measurements of radiative flux, cloud, convection, and aerosol physical, chemical, and optical properties will be made to develop core data sets for scientific analysis. The measurements will range from those made at surface locations that yield point and profile data sets to a few selected aircraft platform-based measurements. However, these measurements and the subsequent data sets must be placed in a larger regional context in order to relate the data to a particular dynamic state of the atmosphere and begin developing hypotheses tha t explain observed phenomena. The regional context will be developed within the conditions generated by a 3-D regional scale climate model. Baseline simulations of 3-D regional scale model will provide the necessary analytical support for many of the scientific studies done under GVAX. In addition, the 3-D model will be a test bed for high performance computing data storage and visualization. We have implemented and run the latest 3.3 beta version of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model with an online capability of simulating chemistry and aerosols (WRF-Chem) on the Argonne Fusion clusters. The WRF-Chem model has been optimized and uses domain decomposition to divide total work load on the distributed-memory systems. Without chemistry and aerosol modules, the standard WRF CONUS benchmark (48 hr and 12 km forecast over Continental US) completes in 15 minutes on a teraflop system (~250 processors). For the GVAX campaign, the principal investigator will simulate a model domain from 55E to 95E and 0 to 36N, divided into 367x331 12-km grid cells with 28 vertical layers from the surface to the top of the atmosphere. The model boundary conditions will be updated on a daily basis from the gridded NOAA/NCEP global forecasts, which are available online within about 36 hrs to 48 hrs after real time. Therefore, there is a need to perform at least 72 hr model simulations in order to provide 36 hr forecasts required for the field experiment. The test runs on the WRF-Chem model have been completed on a number of nodes. The regional model scales up to 250 cores and needs ~10 hours to complete a 72-hr forecast. The speedup achieved with 72 cores is about 13 relative to 4 cores. Memory used on each node decreases from 4.5 GB, 1.5GB, 1.1 GB, to 0.9 GB while the number of nodes increases from 4, 16, 36, to 72 cores. The ideal computing time to finish daily forecasts is around 3~5 hours. Thus, the daily forecasts is expected to require about 200-250 cores. Because of gas-phase and aerosol chemistry for pollutant forecast output, the WRF-Chem is much more expensive in computation time compared to running the WRF model only. However, forecasts of the geographic distribution and transport pattern of atmospheric gases and aerosols are required for the GVAX campaign. The above estimated time does not include pre-processing of the GFS meteorology fields, post-processing and visualization of the forecast results. In addition t o the model runs, these processes will be done in serial and cost an additional several hours on Fusion. We have setup a Live Access Server (LAS) node at Argonne to serve the model results to the user community. The site (atmos.anl.gov:8080/las) is now operational and we plan to regularly update the website with model results on a daily basis 3-D regional scale model simulations will provide the necessary analytical support for many of the scientific studies done under GVAX. These modeling results of air pollution and meteorological fields will become one of the central ‘data’ products for the experiments archived at the ARM websites. The expectation is that there will be a significant number of scientists from around the world who will be interested in GVAX data. In addition, the 3-D model will be a test bed for high performance computing data storage and visualization. The large volumes of model outputs generated would be used to test or assess the feasibility of using the cloud computing systems (such as Magellan) to perform/extract a pre-determined set of forecast products as and when needed by scientists distributed at disparate locations world-wide. Current: undetermined amount Justification: Requested: 270000 A specific reason has been given: we continue the calculations in a diagnostic mode for the project This needs to be approved and the final allocation amount decided upon.

Hello, A change in allocation has been requested: Requester: raok (Rao Kotamarthi) Project: Atmos_Chem Title: Process Scale Modeling of Atmospheric Chemistry and Transport Description: 1. What are the sources and sinks of the aerosols comprising the “Asian brown cloud,” and what effects does it have on clear-sky radiation fields, as well as on cloud micro- and macrophysical properties? What effect does the diurnal PBL cycle in the Ganges valley have on the atmospheric distribution of aerosols? Recent studies indicate that nearly 50 90% of the measured black carbon aerosols that give rise to brown clouds over the Indian Ocean are from biomass burning (residential cooking and agricultural burning), but little quantitative information is available regarding how properties of these aerosols — such as light scattering and absorption and droplet nucleating properties — evolve as a function of time near the source Ganges valley region. Very little is also known about the vertical structure of the distribution of aerosols and the fraction of the aerosols that are available for regional- and global-scale transport from the source region in the Ganges valley. The one-year long AMF deployment is uniquely positioned to make continuous, high frequency measurements through the atmospheric column of aerosol optical properties, radiative transfer and cloud properties. In addition, to bring additional focus on resolving some of the more regional and chemical composition relate d questions inherent in this objective, we propose to conduct a winter intensive field operation starting from January 15th 2012 to March 15th 2012, at a time where aerosol loading over this part of India is known to be the highest. During this intensive, the G 1 will add the additional capability of generating in situ measurements and vertical profiles within the PBL and above to generate estimates of the amounts of aerosols that are transported into the mid troposphere and to regional scales. Additional resources such as MAOS, a surface site below in the valley from the location of AMF and a number of supporting surface sites operated by ISRO/IISc will be available. A more detailed description of this intensive is provided below. 2. What effect do increasing aerosols in the Ganges Valley have on the ISM? What effect do aerosols have on shortwave radiative forcing, mid-tropospheric heating and convective activity over continental India? With the AMF, we will be in a position to make continuous, extended estimates of heating rates within cloud over continental India by measuring cloud properties, drop sizes, and LWC and making complete radiative balance measurements of clouds. The uncertainty in parameterization of deep convective activity in climate models has a profound impact on the calculated climate sensitivity to rising CO2. Deep convective activity is common during much of the summer and pre-monsoon period; the initial onset of monsoon over the southern tip of India is initiated by land-sea circulation and then enhanced and driven by deep convective activity over the northern Indian plains. Specific to this study would be an opportunity to measure the influence of aerosols on deep convection. This highly complex, little understood problem in modeling deep convection is complementary to the elevated heat pump hypothesis. Measurement of aerosols from surface supersites to identify their chemical and phys ical characteristics will provide key constraints to the estimates of radiative forcing heating rates from these aerosols in the PBL during the winter and early spring intensive as discussed above. A second intensive operating period, during the pre-monsoon, is planned for the period extending from February 1, 2012 to April 1st, 2012 for the purpose of coupling the surface measurements made by the AMF with measurements of in situ cloud properties and aerosol measurements made the IISc/ISRO Beechcraft-20, as well as ongoing Indian activities (Aerosol Radiative Forcing over India; ARFI) to obtain a regional footprint. This would be the first ever such effort to synthesize the various measurements into a combined data product over this region that would be available for model validation and evaluating current cloud level aerosol heating hypotheses. We plan to use a combination of models for the project, including the CCSM4.0, GEOS-CHEM for aerosol transport and IMAGE model for aerosol cloud interactions. Current: undetermined amount Justification: Requested: 50000 A specific reason has been given: We expect to perform model simulations with a global chemical transport model with data assimilation. This needs to be approved and the final allocation amount decided upon. Thank You, The LCRC Accounts System
