CM1 Numerical Model, Release 21.1 (cm1r21.1) 24 March 2024 Acknowledgments: Many people and organizations have contributed to this numerical model by providing code, feedback, and suggestions, or by testing the code on their applications. Especially thanked are Peter Bannon, Xiaomin Chen, Johannes Dahl, Nathan Dahl, Chris Davis, Dan Dawson, J. Michael Fritsch, Matthew Gilmore, Richard James, Anders Jensen, Teddie Keller, Daniel Kirshbaum, Joe Klemp, Ted Mansell, Paul Markowski, Marcello Miglietta, Hugh Morrison, David Nolan, Chris Nowotarski, Leigh Orf, Matt Parker, Scott Pearse, Glen Romine, Rosimar Rios-Berrios, Richard Rotunno, James Ruppert, Stefano Serafin, Xiaoming Shi, Martin Singh, Daniel Stern, Jerry Straka, Mark Straka, Gregory Thompson, Lou Wicker, Bob Wilhelmson. Some code in CM1 was adapted from other numerical models, including: - The Model for Prediction Across Scales - Atmosphere (MPAS-A) (wsm6,ysu,tiedtke) - The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model (land-surface model, surface layer model, ocean mixed-layer model, several microphysics schemes, rrtmg radiation scheme) - The Advanced Regional Prediction System (ARPS), which is developed by the Center for Analysis and Prediction of Storms at the University of Oklahoma (atmospheric radiation codes) The National Science Foundation (NSF) has supported George Bryan during the development of this code through grants ATM-9806309 and ATM-0133506 and by NSF's support of the National Center for Atmospheric Research.
