CCMVal Photocomp 2008 CCMVAL Report Chapter 6 |
Michael Prather (UCI), Huisheng Bian (GSFC), Martyn Chipperfield (Leeds), Doug Kinnison (NCAR) |
The calculation of photolysis (J) rates is a possible source of considerable
difference between CCMs. Within the overall aims of CCMVal, and the
forthcoming
SPARC CCMVal Report,
we are conducting an intercomparison of model photolysis rates. This will
help identify, and reduce, model-model differences.
All models are welcome to take part. To do this you will need to download
a few data files, run your photolysis code and output the results in a standard
format. See links below for more information.
When you have results ready please create a directory with your model name
under "/project_spaces/ccmval/PHOTOCOMP" and upload the data to this
directory of the CCMVal Archive at BADC (see Guidelines for CCMVal
Collaborators at
http://www.pa.op.dlr.de/CCMVal/Guidelines_CCMValCollaborators.html for
instructions how to become a formal "CCMVal Collaborator"). Once you have
finished the transfer of your data, please notify Martyn Chipperfield by
email. If you are not a CCMVal participant, and don't want to become one, you
can still take part in PhotoComp by emailing your results files to
Martyn Chipperfield.
New/updated results received by July 14, 2009 can be included in the Second
Order Draft of the CCMVal Report.
