Work PackageDescription
WP1: Project ManagementCoordination and effective management of the project. Ensure the administrative and financial implementation of the Contract.
WP2: Implementation of time-evolving aerosol forcingMicrophysics code modifications of the regional climate model WRF to include aerosol-cloud interactions (indirect effect) and assessment of their impact in multi-year simulations. Update of aerosol forcing based on a state-of-the-art aerosol dataset (MERRA). Regional climate simulations over Europe (12 Km) to test the development modifications. Evaluation of the climate simulations and final assessment of code development.
WP3: Implementation of land-use forcingImplementation of dynamic land use change forcing in regional climate simulations in the WRF model. Regional climate simulations over Europe (12 Km) to test the implementation of the land use forcing. Evaluation of the climate simulations and final assessment
WP4: Implementation of prototype urban forcingPreparation of 3D information (satellite retrieved) over Paris for urban climate modeling. Model code modifications to include urban parameterizations. Regional climate simulations to include urban forcing and assessment.
WP5: Dissemination Communication and ManagementDisseminate the new product by publishing the news in a dedicated web-page. Provide documentation on the novelties of the upgraded modeling system. Participate in conferences to present the accomplished work.
