International Workshop on ICTP Regional Climate Model:

Applications Over South Asia CORDEX Domain

22-28 February, 2021, Department of Physics, Dibrugarh University

Important: Regarding any issues related to Workshop materials/Future events/Certificates communicate at the workshop email only. Communication email id: regcmworkshop2021@dibru.ac.in

The Regional Climate Model (RegCM) maintained in the Earth System Physics (ESP) division of The Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) is a widely used community model. It has evolved from its first version RegCM1, in 1989 to the most recent fully matured version RegCM4 including nonhydrostatic dynamical core of the Mesoscale Model-version 5 (MM5). The focus of the current workshop will be the application of RegCM4, coupled with full Gas-phase Chemistry, Ocean modelMITgcm and Hydrological model-CHyM etc. over the South Asia CORDEX Domain (https://cordex.org/domains/). The model is flexible, portable, easy to use and can be applied to any region of the globe for a wide range of studies, from process based investigations to the paleoclimate and future climate simulations. Details on the model and the relevant Regional Climate Research Network are available at the ICTP website (www.ICTP.it).

RegCM CHEM material link (Shared by Dr. Ahmed Shalaby)

Download (Shared by Dr. Fabio Di Sante. Contains the entire set of models and scripts to be used for the two hands-on sessions on Tuesday and Wednesday. It contains the RegCM4.9.2 model, the modified version of the MITgcm (used as regional ocean model), the driver RegESM, the input data for RegCM and MITgcm and all the scripts needed to create the model initial and boundary conditions.)

Installation.md (Some information about the installation of the libraries needed by the driver RegESM. The version of the libraries must be the same of that used to install the other components (namely RegCM and MITgcm).)

Regcm 4.9.2

ABOUT

Dibrugarh University:

Dibrugarh University, the easternmost University in India, was established in 1965 consequent upon the provisions of the Dibrugarh University Act, 1965, enacted by the Assam Legislative Assembly.
Primarily a research, teaching, affiliating, and examining body involved in promotion of Arts, Science, Commerce, Engineering and other branches of learning, the University currently offers a diverse range of undergraduate, postgraduate and research programmes through 17 Departments and 18 Centres placed under five Schools of Studies:
• School of Humanities, Social Sciences and Law
• School of Science and Engineering
• School of Commerce and Management Science
• School of Education
• School of Earth, Atmospheric Science, Environment and Energy
In addition to that, the University presently hosts 177 affiliated colleges and institutes that spread over nine districts of Assam. The Directorate of Distance Education of the University offers a number of undergraduate and postgraduate degree, diploma and certificate programmes with quality academic support.
