ITCZ Experiments

Diagnostic Studies

1. Diagnose LH flux compared to ECMWF CAM2 vs Obs
2. Compute the net energy into the warm pool from the uncoupled ocean simulations.
3. Fresh water flux into ocean?

Ocean Studies

1. Relax T in ocean model to obs in CCSM.
2. Solar penetration into ocean?

Atmosphere Studies

1. Chris's suggestion of adding gustiness forcing to CAM2 and CCSM.
2. Drag coefficient at low u.
3. Cumulus friction in CAM2 and CCSM.
4. Sensitivity experiments with RAS and precipitation efficiency.

   a. Convective scheme has autoconversion rate decerased by 80% ras sens.1-ras control
   b. Doubled evaporation fraction for convective precipitation ras sens.2-ras control

5. Finite Volume CAM2

Fully Coupled Simulations

1. Relax T in ocean model to obs in CCSM.
2. Relax CCSM low clouds in Eastern Pacific and Trades to ISCCP values.
3. Relax CCSM wind stress to ERS data in specific regions.
4. Relax near surface q to COADS.
5. FV CCSM simulation.
6. Take explicit Q_flxfrom uncoupled POP and put into CAM2+SOM.
