We are proud to announce the successful disputation of our SICSS member Yumeng Chen.
His dissertation “A New Approach towards Adaptivity in Climate Models” was supervised by Prof. Dr. Jörn Behrens and Dr. Konrad Simon.
Yumeng Chen investigated the adaptive mesh refinement technique for the tracer transport component of climate models. He simulated realistic dust tracer transport to show the feasibility of using AMR in a single component of the climate model, ECHAM6. In order to achieve such goal, he proposed a compatible data structure and a modified tracer transport algorithm. He also tested the numerical methods using idealized test cases.
Yumeng was a member of the group Numerical Methods in Geosciences of CEN at Universität Hamburg.
