The final version of the MM5 system will be dev-eloped and tested at uCAR, AIT's designated representative. Aft-er internal testing, the system software will be ported to theAOAWs computing environment at the CWB, CAA's cooperative parti-ner, installed, configured, run, and finalized. MM5 forecast system work during FY2202 will consist of:(i) comp-leting the development of the 135/45/15/5-km MM5 configuration (including 3DVAR) with a 3-hourly forecast frequency, (ii) upgra-ding the new configuraton MM5 system on the Fujitsu supercomput-er of CWB, CAA's cooperative partner, (iii) running, monitoring,tuning, and finalizing the MM5 system at CWB, and (iv) maintain-ing the system throughout the warranty period. in addition, theMM5 system monitoring capability will be enhanced. The development of the MM5 system will involve constructing andtesting a 5-km/3-hourly system at UCAR, AIt's designated repres-entative. The scripts and codes necessary for data ingest, first-guess ingest, preprocessing, processing, and post processing w-ill be prepared, tested, and revised where necessary. The workwill also entail modifying the model display systme to accommod-ate the new 5-km grid, its outupt, and the new 3-hourly forecastfrequency. ────────── 1All manpower values are given as Full Time Equivalent (FTE). A1.0 FTE is the same as 12 personmonths. Costs reflect full load-ing (overhead@0.473,benefits@0.488and the UCAR fee@0.03)for the12-month period. The 5-km/3-hourly MM5 system components will be installed in theenvironment of CWB, CAA's cooperative partner. This will involvesetup of the new system on the Fujitsu. MM5 system operation, t-roubleshooting, and debugging will also be carried out. The mod-el output data transfer (e.g., to TAMc) system will be revisedto accommodate the new forecast frequency and the new 5-km grid,its products, and its output frequency. The archiving proceduredwill also be modified to be consistent with the new MM5 configu-ration. Another part of the MM5 system work will encompass running,mo-nitoring, and tuning of the system. The full AOAWs MM5 (i.e., i-ncluding the 5-km grid, .+hourly cycling, and 3DVAR) will be mo-nitored to identify any problems. The tuning will consist of pu-tting in modifications to improve robustness or correct problems. in the period prior to finalization, the AOAWS MM5 system willintegrate revised code versions as new releases are developed atUCAR. Lastly, system completion will consist of the implementat-ion of final softwar enhancements or bug fixes, followed by thefreezing of the AOAWS MM5 system codes, scripts, and model disp-lay. 3DVAR development will also be completed in FY2002. This will i-nclude finishing develpment of the backgound and observationerr-or coveriances and othe observation operators. 3DVAR evaluationand tuning will also be completed. This will involve examiningthe operation of the 3DVAR system and implementing modificationsfor integration with the 3-jhourly cycling configuration. Gener-al MM5 3DVAR system capabilities are constantly being developedat UCAR. Where time and resources permit, these general 3DVAR e-nhancements will be implemented within the AOAWS 3DVAR system.For FY2002, MM5 output will be sent to the TAMC via the AOAWS n-etwork for distribution and use by the AOAWS data servers and d-isplay systems. The data transfer system will be modified to ha-ndle the 5-km grid and the 3-hourly forecast frequency. Researchrelated to 4DVAR will continue at UCAR to the extent supportedby other projects. Part B:The task of parallelization MM5 system software to the d-istributed-memory parallel (DMP) Fujitsu architecture will cont-inue this year. This work consists of the parallelization of ex-ecutables, parallelization of MM5 system codes, testing and ana-lysis of the parallelized codes, and modification of codes. Theprocess will also involve analysis of MM5 performance to targetthose parts of the code where the potential gains from parallel-ization are the greatest, and such areas will take priority inthe parallelization and optimization work. The parallelizationwork will also address the AOAWS 3DVAR system.
