ARSC: 2008 Academic Project Re-registration 'akwaters' Answers to #1 and #2 are fine. Answers #3 to #11 have been answered by: (a) Peter, Liu, Volz (b) Joseph ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1) Please update the mailing address below. Address is still good. 2) Please update the user list below by removing users who are no longer on the project and updating user contact information (email, phone number and mailing address). Kate is the main PI under Mark that should be in charge of this user list for the project. Kate indicates the current list is in good standing. 3) What are the goals for your project? (a) Supply daily numerical forecasts for Southcentral Alaska including the North Gulf of Alaska (Prince William Sound and Cook Inlet). Study severe weather events imposing hazards to local aviation and marine activities. (b) Data management support for BSIERP, computation support of other PIs as needed. 4) Did you find the necessary resources at ARSC for your project? (a) Yes. We run the WRF model daily on iceberg. (b) Yes 5) Did you experience any problems while working on your project? (a) Yes. At the beginning stages, there were a lot of things about the computing machinery and ARSC procedures that we needed to learn. (b) Nothing unusual this year. A little learning curve for the PathScale compilers on Midnight. 6) Did you seek user support while using ARSC systems? If so, was it helpful? (a) Yes. The help desk gave a lot of prompt responses and help. (b) Ditto. 7) What progress did you make on your project this year? (a) We successfully conducted daily simulations on this system. (b) The BSIERP project will be spinning up this year. 8) Please list funding sources for your project (current funding sources are listed below). (a) Oil Spill Recovery Institute (b) NOAA, NPRB 9) Please estimate the number of CPU hours your project will need for each system in calendar year 2008 (the number of hours used by your project in the last 12 months is listed below): (a) iceberg: 2000, midnight: will not use (b) No active computational projects have been identified to utilize iceberg or midnight at present. 10) Please list publications and conference papers that resulted over the past year. (a) Liu H., Olsson P., Volz K. A Climatology of Operational Model Simulated Low Level Jets over Cook Inlet and Shelikof Strait of Alaska,Great Alaska Weather Modeling Symposium March 13-15, 2007 Fairbanks. Liu H., Olsson P., Volz K. The Westerly Gap Wind in Lower Cook Inlet, Alaska--Observations and Numerical Simulations, Arctic Science Conference, Sep. 24-27, 2007 Anchorage. (b) None 11) Have you used the ARSC Discovery Lab? If not, do you plan to use it in 2008? (a) No. Don't know yet. (b) No. No plans yet. ******************************************************************************************************** AKWATERS: Ocean Modelling in Gulf of Alaska and Bering Sea Dr. Mark A.
