Instructional Sessions
LEAD
LEAD
(Linked Environments for Atmospheric Discovery) is a web services environment
for meteorological research and education. It allows users to query for
and obtain a wide variety of observations and model data, assimilate data,
configure and run WRF model forecasts, and mine and visualize observations
and model output -- all in a single, comprehensive system that is as easy to
use as ordering a book on amazon.com. Unique to LEAD is the ability for
its weather tools, including WRF, to operate in a dynamically adaptive
manner. For example, LEAD can be configured to monitor streaming radar
data and launch a WRF forecast, automatically, when a pre-specified condition
is met (e.g., an echo of 35 dBZ forms over a particular region). The
LEAD system will locate the necessary computing resources for the WRF run on
the NSF Teragrid and then monitor the execution of the job, restarting any
component of the workflow that fails. In this tutorial, attendees will
be shown how to use LEAD and will configure and launch their own radar data
mining and WRF runs, on demand, over any region they choose. We also
will show how LEAD is being interfaced with the WRF Portal being developed by
NCAR and NOAA.
This instructional session will provide an overview of
the Model Evaluation Tools (MET), including its major components and
technical capabilities and requirements. MET is a set of verification tools
designed by the Developmental Testbed Center (DTC) for evaluation of WRF
model forecasts. This session will include a description of the basic
components of MET, as well as new tools that will be included in Version 1.1,
which will be released in early July. Some of the new tools include neighborhood verification methods,
conversion tools to allow additional observational data formats, and
bootstrap-based confidence intervals. The session will not be hands-on due to time constraints, but copies
of the presentation will be provided, as well as links to faqs and an on-line
tutorial.
This
tutorial presents a variety of techniques for understanding WRF output
through the use of 3D visualization. The goal is to enable attendees to easily incorporate 3D graphics into
the analysis of WRF output. Attendees are not expected to be familiar with 3D graphics; however
they are encouraged to bring a laptop to work through the examples as they
are discussed. The visualization
will be performed using VAPOR (see http://www.vapor.edu), an interactive
visualization tool that has been developed at NCAR for the understanding of
turbulence data.
Visualization
techniques that will be explained include: Volume
visualization; Isosurfaces; Flow integration; Data probing with contour planes;
Image-based flow visualization; Animation
Several
examples will be used to illustrate the use of visualization to understand
WRF-ARW output data. Weather
phenomena visualized include: Dispersion
of pollutants over time; Flow stagnation; Cold air damming; Convection near
the eye of a hurricane; Identification of vortices
Right: VAPOR visualization of convection near Gulf Coast, QCLOUD
in a simulated hurricane.
