Climate Model Development and Validation

Funding Opportunity Number: DE-FOA-0001530 Opportunity Category: DiscretionaryFunding Instrument Type: Cooperative AgreementCategory of Funding Activity: Science and Technology and other Research and DevelopmentCFDA Number: 81.049Eligible Applicants Unrestricted (i.e., open to any type of entity above), subject to any clarification in text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility"Agency Name: PAMS-SCClosing Date: Mar 25, 2016Award Ceiling: $300,000Expected Number of Awards: 2Creation Date: Feb 05, 2016Funding Opportunity Description: The Climate Model Development and Validation (CMDV) Activity in the Climate and Environmental Sciences Division (CESD), Office of Biological and Environmental Research (BER) of the Office of Science (SC), U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), is a new effort to improve climate model architecture, software, and computational design to prepare for exascale computing, to develop scale-aware physics for climate systems, and to enhance methods for model validation. This solicitation focuses mainly on the development and validation of scale-aware physics parameterizations for the atmosphere, with the goal of including these in either the current or next generation version of DOE’s Accelerated Climate Model for Energy (ACME). A recent workshop report (http://www.arm.gov/publications/programdocs/acme-arm-asr-draft-report.pdf) describes a new strategy to better align DOE capabilities across scales and di...
