THREAD: Tying in High Resolution E3SM with ARM Data
This project harnesses DOE's recent development of the global storm-resolving model and recent advances in ground-based observations using Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) data to significantly enhance the predictability of the kilometer-scale
Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM).
This will be accomplished by diagnosing and improving the representations of clouds, precipitation, and land-atmosphere interaction processes.

A schematic diagram illustrating the approaches, science foci, and tools for THREAD (Tying in High Resolution E3SM with ARM Data), an Atmospheric System Research (ASR) Science Focus Area (SFA) project bridging the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) and Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM) programs. THREAD will use ARM observations for diagnosis and improvement of E3SM’s kilometer-scale model configuration known as the Simplified Cloud-Resolving E3SM Atmospheric Model (SCREAM).
