Knowledge Transfer Partners

This section provides information about activities within CMMAP and the Center's partner institutions.
Partners included in this section are primarily Climate and NWP centers affiliated with the Center. The information
available here is aimed at scientists at the post graduate, faculty, and research scientist levels. If you would like to post
opportunities at your organization please contact the KT Group.

Partnerships Partners


Government Centers

Climate and NWP Centers

Partners Existing Two-Way Communication Plans  
CCSM (Community Climate System Model user group) C.-H. Moeng (CMMAP Deputy Director), M. Moncrieff, and W. Grabowski of NCAR/MMM play a crucial role in research interactions on the boundary layer, the MJO, and the MMF. W. Collins and J. Hack of NCAR/CGD are important collaborators on radiative transfer and on the CAM.
Enhance interaction with CAM (Community Atmosphere Model) scientists. ucar
FRCGC (Frontier Research Center for Global Change)

H. Miura,T. Nasuno, and M. Satoh collaborate on GCRMs.

H. Miura will be a visiting scientist at CSU for one year, working on GCRM development. frontier
ECMWF (European Center for Medium Range Forecasts)

M. Miller interacts with CMMAP scientists on medium range forecasting, model evaluation through NWP

Work to engage additional ECMWF scientists. ecmwf
BMRC (Bureau of Meteorology Research Center)

C. Jakob collaborates in the evaluation of global cloudiness simulations. Model evaluation, especially based on ARM data.

C. Jakob has left BMRC for Monash University. We plan to initiate interactions with H. Hendon of BMRC. bmrc
NCEP (National Centers for Environmental Prediction) S. Lord, L. Uccellini are interacting with CMMAP scientists on the potential of MMFs and GCRMS to improve operational weather forecasting. S. Lord presented an invited talk at the August 2007 Team Meeting on operational forecast models at NCEP. ncep
GFDL (Geohysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory)

L. Donner, our point of contact with GFDL, collaborates on the development of improved MMFs and improved conventional parameterizations.

No change. gfdl
LLNL (Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory)

P. Duffy was involved in the development of the CMMAP proposal, but has since become inactive.

Future interactions with PNNL will center on D. Bader. llnl
CCSR (Center for Climate System Research) A. Sumi,T. Nakajima of Tokyo University collaborate on the development of MMFs and improved climate simulations. No change. ccsr
