What I'm doing: hybrid model

  • It is known that core dynamics and convection benefit from hi-resolution (Jung et al, 2012, Tao and Chern, 2017)
  • Less evidence that other science benefits so strongly from greater resolution
  • Aerosol and chemistry science slow the UM by a factor of about 3 (200% slower)
  • 50-70% faster than non-hybrid equivalent
  • GA+StratTrop-hybrid N216 N96 compared well against GA+StratTrop N216
