Overall Goal: Update each other on progress and plans. Review/adjust
project plans for second year of funding and remainder of project. Note
that this meeting has a broader agenda than the Science Meeting in May 2007,
with more emphasis on tools and techniques.
Location:
Plenary: IGPP Seminar Room, Slichter Hall Room 3853
Breakout Sessions: Geology Building Room 3637, Center Earth Systems
Research Lab, IGPP Seminar Room 3853
Parking:
Parking for Oct. 4 and 5 will be in parking lot 2, located at Hilgard
Ave. and Westholme Ave on campus and directly east from the Geology
Building. There are 30 spaces reserved. The parking kiosk is located

Break-out Groups
Four potential break-out groups have been suggested. We would like
you to let us know via e-mail what break-out group you are most interested
in participating in. If you are not interested in any of them or feel that
a different topic would be more valuable, please suggest it. We have already
had some commentary, so please chime in. As we have 2 break-out sessions, we
are not limited to 4 topics.
-
Community talk back: As potential, new or experienced users of the
Community Model, what are the things that you would find most useful
to help you conduct research with the CSTM? Are there experiences you
have had with other sediment models we should learn from? What are
your favorite aspects of the system? What are your least favorite
aspects?
-
Tool development for community sediment transport: We are seeking to
build tools that can work with a number of different models by using
the NetCDF Conventions. What is missing from the CF conventions that
we need for sediment models? Can we come up with some specific
recommendations for the CF group and test cases that will help enable
our ideas to be incorporated into the CF specification? Can we agree
on standards for vector components, grid staggering and masking for
CSTM that we can use prior to official adoption of standards by CF?
-
ESMF/Coupling: Now that we have a version of ROMS controlled by the
ESMF superstructure, it should be possible to couple with other
applications that have been written to be controlled by the ESMF
superstructure. Can we come up with a test application of coupling
ROMS to another existing ESMF application to see if ESMF truly has made
the coupling easier? (e.g. NRL has coupled NCOM and COAMPS using ESMF.
Can we see how hard it would be to now couple COAMPS with ROMS using
ESMF?) What is our way forward with coupling technology? Are there
things that other coupling packages do that we would like to see
incorporated in ESMF?
-
Linking small scale sediment process models with CSTM/ROMS: A number
of process models have been discussed (including Dune, 1-D
erosion-deposition models, 1 and 2-D fluid mud models) that represent
active research elements in CSTM. Should some of these process models
be designated as stand-alone components of the CSTM "family"?
In which cases can the algorithms be directly ported into the CSTM
uber-model, and if that is infeasible (e.g., due to resolution of
computational considerations), how should the process models and
regional-scale models be linked?
