Deliverables (scientific and technological)

Year 1: High resolution versions of GOLDSTEIN (96x72, 288x144) and alternative resolutions of the IGCM. Extension of the BFG to support initial GENIE-CIAS coupling and future targets.

Year 2: Assessment of overheads due to the PRISM environment and recommendations to PRISM. Grid tests of PRISM framework, incorporation of appropriate elements of PRISM into modelling environment. Version of EMBM tuned to IGCM, versions of GOLDSTEIN and IGCM tuned to FAMOUS and HadCM3. Emulators for different instances of GENIE ESM. Integration of the BFG with GENIE compile and run environment, extension of BFG to couple GENIE model components, incorporation of an improved downscaler.

Year 3: Flexible maintainable modelling framework integrated with PRISM and CIAS and with the capacity to couple other types of component model. Traceable examples of fast ESMs across a spectrum of resolution, tuned to real data and to the output of full complexity models. Dynamic emulators for key Earth system model components. Generic integrated assessment coupling interfaces and a test application. Scoping study of automated coupling of BFG models and "native" PIK TDT, PRISM and ESMF models. User guide to the model framework and full documentation of the component models and code.
