We had a meeting with CAPS during the last week of April, and the outcome is the following:
-
They will supply us with an initial data set over the Syracuse region.
-
This data set will be taken from the end of April, during severe thunderstorms in the region.
-
By mid summer they will try to help us run the code to evolve the initial data.
-
The first attempts should result in stable runs, with inaccurate predictions.
-
The ETA of accurate simulations should be roughly 1/2 person year.
-
This will time line would allow for the accurate prediction of lake effect snow.
-
Lake effect snow is caused mostly from wind blowing over a cold lake.
