Model
Description Brazilian Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (BRAMS)
BRAMS (Brazilian Regional Atmospheric Modeling System) is a joint
project of ATMET, IME/USP, IAG/USP and CPTEC/INPE, funded by FINEP
(Brazilian Funding Agency), aimed to produce a new version of RAMS
(http://www.atmet.com) tailored
to the tropics. The main objective is to provide a single model
to Brazilian Regional Weather Centers. The BRAMS/RAMS model is a
multipurpose, numerical prediction model designed to simulate atmospheric
circulations spanning in scale from hemispheric scales down to large
eddy simulations (LES) of the planetary boundary layer.
Current
projects involving BRAMS are:
•
BRAMSNET (Finep), retro-fitting operational experience and research
into model maintenance, generating new versions of BRAMS. Main
accomplishment to date is the web page (http://brams.cptec.inpe.br/).
Joint work with FURG, UFRJ, USP, UFCG, Somar, Itautec. Report
of goals (/ProjBramsnet.shtml)
•
SegHidro (Finep), creating a portal to submit atmospheric models,
hydrological models and risk analysis model (http://seghidro.lsd.ufcg.edu.br/).
Joint work with UFCG and FUNCEME.
•
GBRAMS (Finep), creating a portal to submit BRAMS climatology.
Joint work with LAC/INPE and IC/UFRGS.
