Coleman, Dani
Atmospheric model and diagnostics development. Currently a lead on the Model Diagnostic Task Force, which facilitates the inclusion of process-oriented diagnostics from the research community into the model development process. Also interfacing with the AMWG Diagnostic Framework to ensure compatibility between the frameworks and increase usefulness to CESM users of both.

Craig, Cheryl
Software Engineer involved in CAM (Community Atmosphere Model) software development. CAM source code gatekeeper for upcoming software tags. General CAM software development work. Working on converting CAM physics packages to CCPP (to improve code interoperability between NCAR divisions and other institutions). Resource person for software questions about the CAM model and NCAR computer systems.

Hannay, Cecile
The Atmospheric Model Working Group (AMWG) Science Liaison. Supports the development of the Community Atmospheric Model (CAM) and assists the CESM community in all aspects of using the CAM (running the model, science questions, experiment designs). Shares CAM development results with the community (through webpages and presentations at conferences/workshops).
-
Herrington, Adam
Development, evaluation, and scientific application of global atmospheric models, with a focus on structural uncertainty — sensitivity to grid choice, dynamical cores, convection parameterizations, and convection-permitting resolutions. Research spans the equator to the poles, from tropical clouds to cryosphere–atmosphere interactions.

Tribbia, Joseph
The numerical simulation of the atmosphere and geophysically relevant flows. The application of dynamical systems theory in atmospheric dynamics, the problems of atmospheric data analysis and numerical weather prediction, atmospheric predictability and the prediction of forecast reliability, and the simulation and prediction of El Nino/Southern Oscillation and decadal climate projections.
-
Richling, Justin
My interests are in diagnostics using Python and Jupyter Notebooks. I am involved in the development of the Atmospheric Diagnostic Framework (ADF) which is replacing the AMWG diagnostic package. I am also supporting CAM developers by creating diagnostics for CAM and CESM development runs.
-
