PROFILE

Kate.zhang

Worked on the GEOS-ESM/GOCART repository to enhance aerosol and sulfur modeling for climate and policy simulations. Delivered stability improvements and physics refinements to the aerosol model, addressing out-of-bounds errors and improving rainout and re-evaporation logic using Fortran and Python. Introduced a sulfate wet removal scheme with precipitation-type dependent efficiencies, increasing the accuracy of atmospheric removal processes. Enhanced sulfur parameter configuration by adding a detailed resource file for aerosol optics and emissions, and updated configuration files for AMIP readiness. Focused on scientific computing and CI/CD integration, these contributions improved model robustness, configurability, and reproducibility for research and operational workflows.

January 2026 monthly summary for GEOS-ESM/GOCART focused on sulfur parameter configuration improvements and AMIP readiness. Delivered enhancements to sulfur parameter configuration, added a new sulfur parameter resource file with detailed configurations for aerosol optics, volcanic emissions, and aviation emissions, and introduced a wet removal scheme option to improve sulfur-related atmospheric simulations. Updated SU rc to support AMIP.20 and AMIP, and cleaned up outdated sulfur parameter settings to simplify maintenance. The changes enhance model fidelity, configurability, and reproducibility for climate simulations and AMIP experiments.
