    Hello,
   =20
    A new project on the LCRC cluster has been requested.  Please forward
    the information on to the LCRC Allocation sub-committee.
   =20
           Applicant's name:  Scott Collis=20
    Applicant's institution:  ANL=20
       Applicant's division:  EVS=20
               Project Name:  ACPC=20
              Project title:  Understanding storm tracks near Houston in supp=
ort of the Aerosols, Clouds, Precipitation and Climate initiative =20
         Associated funding:  DoE CESD: ARM CMDV.=20
              Other Systems:  None=20
                    Science:  The Aerosols, Clouds, Precipitation and Climate=
 aims to look at the evolution of storms as the move from pristine to pollute=
d environments. The team is proposing a field campaign in Houston, TX.=20
   =20
    This very short project will process and map 15 years of NEXRAD data from=
 the area and perform cell tracking to derive a climatology of storm tracks. =
This will be used in site-ing decisions and will also form a neat publishable=
 project in as of itself.=20
        Project description:  All work will be performed using Py-ART and the=
 new Tracky storm tracking toolkit. Data is already staged.
   =20
    The problem is pleasantly parallel, we have several million radar volumes=
 and the problem can be reduced on a volume by volume basis. Recent experimen=
ts have shown that this problem is particularly amenable to the underused Has=
well nodes.=20
   =20
    We have a long history of this kind of work, making good use of the Clust=
er for work for both DoE and DHS.=20
   =20
    We expect three project members. Py-ART is optimized thread-safe C code w=
ith a Python Glue. We use IPCluster for job management.   =20
       Industry partnership:  None=20
                Project URL:  http://asr.science.energy.gov/meetings/stm/2017=
/presentations/380.pdf=20
       Requested allocation:  50000=20
                         Q1:  0=20
                         Q2:  0=20
                         Q3:  25000=20
                         Q4:  25000=20
              Justification:  =20
       Storage requirements:  We have our own=20
   =20
   =20
    The requester has used undetermined amount hours of their initial startup=
 project.

    In addition to approving an initial amount, please specify a Category
    and Subcategory for this project.  For a list of the current selection
    of approved categories, please see:
