Hi, at the moment I have the option of downloading either hadam3prm3pm2t_eu or hadcm3s models.

I've forgotten how to find out which project these models are for...so to save me time rooting around can anyone point me to a page that shows which project a model type belongs to? On that page it would also be great to read a summary of the project objectives/results at the same time as well...

Thanks in advance

P.S. I'm sure the answer is obvious ;)

If you go to the home page of the project. http://www.climateprediction.net

There are links to all the model pages.

Thanks Dave.

- hadcm3s is up there describing Solar-Radiation Management, great.

- I can see links to HadAM3P_EU and HadAM3PM2 models but I cannot find hadam3prm3pm2t_eu specifically. Is that model a mix of other models...? Do we need to interpret something from the title?

Thanks

You can get clues to the long name models from the Server Status page.
The name is a combination of global model plus regional model.

MOSES II (Met Office Surface Exchange Scheme) is version 2 of the MOSES land use scheme, mostly about vegetation, large bodies of water, etc. It replaces version one, which was used in all of the previous models.

A short description: Moses II

TRIFFID (Top-down Representation of Interactive Foliage and Flora including Dynamics): TRIFFID

All of which just means that our modelling is now at a finer, more detailed, level.

Les, thanks for that explanation.

I saw a thread from Hannah Rowlands http://climateapps2.oerc.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/forum_thread.php?id=8069 in which she said 'I'm starting a new thread here to give you all some more information on work unit batches as they get released, to link them back to the science experiment they are for.'

That's a great idea which could increase interest in the project. Ideally it should be easy to see, perhaps on it's own page maybe linked from the homepage...

What do you think Hannah?

Cheers

If you go to your account page and select the 3rd set of prefs, the one where you can choose which models to run, all of the names are hot links to an explanation page. Although, admittedly, all of the Weather@Home models go back to the same page, and you then have to select the one in which you're interested from a menu to the left.

Hi Digby,

Yes, it's definitely a good idea - I'm trying to make it clearer which batches of work units are related to which science experiment, but it's not always that straight forward to keep this up to date!

I'll keep posting on that forum page that you mentioned. I also keep the right-hand box "Project Status" on the www.climateprediction.net frontpage up to date.

Cheers,
Hannah
