The CREAMS/PICES summer school will consist of two 1.5-day
sessions: SS1 and SS2. Both involve lectures and practice
exercises.
Ocean circulation
modeling (SS1)
led by Professor Naoki Hirose of Kyushu University
This 1.5 day course
will introduce students to simple 1-D/2-D numerical models,
3-D general circulation models, and data assimilation,
organized as 3 half-day sessions.
a. Lecture and tutorials
using Fortran and GrADS. GrADS (Grid Analysis and Display
System) can be freely downloaded from http://www.iges.org/grads/.
2. Three-dimensional general
circulation models (Each lecture includes how to download
and run model codes.
a. Introduction (Prof. Naoki Hirose)
b. Princeton Ocean Model (Prof. Christopher Mooers)
c. RIAM Ocean Model (Prof. Naoki Hirose)
d. HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model (Dr. Patrick Hogan)
3. Data assimilation
a. Introduction (Prof. Naoki
Hirose)
b. Kalman filter (Dr. Sang-Jin Lyu)
c. Adjoint method (to be decided)
Ecosystem
modeling (SS2)
led by Dr. Shin-ichi Ito of Tohoku National Fisheries
Research Institute
This 1.5 day course
is organized as 3 half-day sessions. It will introduce
students to lower tropic level modeling of marine ecosystems
using the NEMURO model, linking lower trophic levels with
upper trophic levels (NEMURO.FISH) and tuning parameters
by linking the model to data using the PEST software package.
Users guides will be provide at the course. The leading
instructor is Dr. Shin-ichi Ito, who may also be assisted
by Profs. Michio J. Kishi and Fei Chai.
1. Lectures for NEMURO and
NEMURO.FISH
a. Introduction to marine ecosystem
models
b. Introduction to governing equations
c. Introduction to parameters to be determined
2. NEMURO and NEMURO.FISH
hands-on training
a. Training on 1 box model
b. Training on multi-box model
3. Data assimilation
and parameter estimation with NEMURO and NEMURO.FISH
a. Introduction of PEST application
for NEMURO and NEMURO.FISH
b. Training on PEST application for NEMURO and NEMURO.FISH
Pre-requisite skills and equipment
Students must have a good working knowledge of Fortran. Although
desk-top personal computers will be prepared for each student,
it is recommended that each student bring their own lap-top
computer with a Fortran compiler.
