Incorporate More Realistic Surface-Atmosphere Radiative Coupling in E3SM

Abstract

Over the course of this project, we have successfully carried out proposed studies and reported our findings in leading peer-reviewed journals and national/international conferences. So far, we have published three peer-reviewed articles reporting such findings and contributed to other two peer-reviewed articles. One Ph.D. dissertation has been produced based on the work done in this project. Two additional manuscripts incurred from this project are currently under reviews. We have made 15 presentations at national and international conferences about the results from this project, as well as eight presentations at the E3SM all-hands meeting. We were also selected last year by the BER to continue this line of work, in close collaborations with the E3SM core model developers.
