Peter Hjort Lauritzen (pel@ucar.edu)

for the poster entitled:
A Stability Analysis of Finite-Volume Advection Schemes Permitting Long Time Steps
by Lauritzen, P.

Click here to download the poster as pdf-file.

Peter is an ASP (Advanced Study Program) postdoc at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado. He got his PhD from the University of Copenhagen where he, in collaboration with the Danish Meteorological Institute, derived and implemented a new dynamics module for HIRLAM that exactly conserved mass of air and tracers.

He is particularly interested in numerical methods for dynamical cores, that is (roughly speaking), algorithms that approximate the solution to the adiabatic frictionless equations of motion for the atmosphere on resolved scales. The present poster is about a fundamental part of the dynamical core: advection. It presents the damping and dispersion properties of several widely used advection schemes; among them the so-called Lin & Rood scheme that is used in several European and American general circulation models. It was demonstrated both theoretically and with a conceptual analysis that the scheme is sensitive to the choice of inner and outer operators applied in the scheme that can lead to increased numerical damping for large Courant numbers.

Dynamics of past aeolian dust deposition in Central Asia: a case study from the loess deposits of southeast Kazakhstan
by Oches, E.A.; Frechen, M.; Zöller, L.

Click here to download the poster as pdf-file.

Björn is a PhD fellow of the German Federal Environmental Foundation (DBU), working at the University of Bayreuth and the Leibniz Institute of Applied Geosciences, Hannover. The aim of his research, supervised by Prof. L. Zöller and Prof. M. Frechen, is the deduction of Pleistocene atmospheric circulation patterns by studying the past aeolian dust dynamics that are registered in loess sequences of Eurasia. To characterise these dynamics Björn combines highly resolved particle size studies with different geochronological methods. He put a special focus on amino acid geochronology (AAG), which he is carrying out under the supervision of Prof. E.A. Oches at the University of South Florida AAG laboratory. Björn has pointed out that previous discussed circulation models for Eurasia were too simplified and showed that the past aeolian dust record of Eurasia reflects a long-term signal of seasonality, triggered by changes in duration and permanency of the Asiatic polar front.
