This is my first official day of 13 here at the Foothills Lab in Boulder, Colorado.
I've met with Peter and have planned some of this trip, and the future of my research. I want to get these down so I don't forget.
Specific Tasks while I am here:
1. Get familiar with WRF / WRF-CHEM
First, run the WRF idealized cases.
Second, run the WRF real cases.
Third, run WRF-CHEM and any examples that it has.
Read the manual for WRF-CHEM
Get familiar with the basics of WRF from it's large user's manual
Also read the new CESM documentation!
2. Work on my paper
Meet with Peter in the next few days about the intro/background/methods portion of my paper
Get a figure or two with seasonal composites of the low systems, or of a correlation graph of low pressure systems and high ozone concentrations behind the low front (both as anomalies, i.e. have the background taken out). Or, if I can, create a correlation figure (i.e. PS'O3'(bar) )
3. Plan next semesterShould I take Max Zhang's class?
What are my specific research goals for the semester?
4. Figure out who I want on my committee
Organize and send Peter the people I've been referred to and their correspondences.
Explicitly write my goal of a third policy/public committee member.
5. Get a general outline of this next project
Re-Read the proposal
Read the data quality thing Peter sent out
Flesh-out an outline for the two to three possible papers, and where their twist is:
1. Compare NCEP reanalysis with CESM-CAM a current-day run
2. Compare Kieran's current day emissions for the current day to observations and/or model results for current day (see 1)
3. Determine how, who, what, and why we need model downscaling (e.g. CCSM to WRF) and how to do it...this is my research!
