Demonstrating MUSICA in 3d Modeling
For the past several years, the MUSICA software engineering team has been creating a software library that represents atmospheric chemistry processes in a model independent and runtime configurable fashion so that MUSICA can interface with any atmosphere model. In the January 2024 newsletter, we showed this vision for MUSICA software development; a simplified version of the schematic is repeated in Figure 1.
International Report Unveils the Global Atmospheric Impacts of the 2022 Hunga Volcano Eruption
The Hunga Volcanic Eruption Atmospheric Impacts Report, a landmark international scientific assessment, has been released today under the Atmospheric Processes and their Role in Climate (APARC) project of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP).
The authors are pleased to see how well WACCM does at simulating Hunga impacts, and Hunga has become a benchmark for evaluating global chemistry-climate models.
Pieternel Levelt selected as member of Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences
Pieternel Levelt, an associate director of the U.S. National Science Foundation National Center for Atmospheric Research (NSF NCAR) has been selected as a member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW).
KNAW announced this week that it had selected Levelt and 16 other members from a large number of nominations by expert juries in each scientific and scholarly field. They will be officially installed on September 29, 2025.
