Thrust Area 4.3:
Medium Resolution Integrated Modeling
The medium resolution effort arose as a result of the discussions for the reformulation of the integrated modeling. It will constitute an effort similar to the one being conducted at Los Alamos National Laboratory, i.e. it will also involve an atmospheric model, a land surface model, and a groundwater model, but with a coarser spatial scale. The coupling of the systems will face the same type of problems as the ones faced in the fine resolution effort. We are planning on using the knowledge developed at the fine scale to help in a speedier development of the medium resolution modeling effort.
