PlanetWRF is a global, planetary version of the mesoscale, Earth-based WRF (Weather Research and Forecasting) model (www.wrf-model.org). With minimal changes, and using the same basic dynamical core and parameterizations of physical processes, it may be run as a global, mesoscale, LES (large eddy simulation), latitude-height or one-dimensional model. This makes it exceptionally flexible and applicable to a range of studies, including for example its use as a radiative-convective model to test a new radiative transfer scheme, or as a three-dimensional global model to examine wave-mean flow interactions. It is also easily configured for any planetary atmosphere, and has so far been applied to the atmospheres of Earth, Mars, Titan and most recently Venus. We will present an overview of results to date, including tests of the dynamical core using simplified forcing, Mars simulations that compare very well with observations, and Mars simulations using a `rotated’ grid in which the poles are dealt with particularly well. We will also outline future work using high resolution `nests’ placed within the global domain to enable multi-scale feedbacks.
This work is partially funded by NASA's AISR and OPR research programs, and we would also like to acknowledge our use of Caltech's new 1024 node Geological and Planetary Sciences Dell cluster, CITerra.
