Kate Zhang contributed to the GEOS-ESM/GOCART repository by developing and refining aerosol and sulfur parameter modeling features over a two-month period. She enhanced the aerosol model’s numerical stability and accuracy by addressing out-of-bounds errors, improving rainout logic, and introducing a sulfate wet removal scheme that accounts for precipitation type. Using Fortran and Python, Kate also restructured sulfur parameter configurations, adding detailed resource files for aerosol optics and emissions, and updated configuration files to support AMIP experiments. Her work improved model robustness, configurability, and reproducibility, demonstrating depth in scientific computing, environmental modeling, and CI/CD integration within a complex codebase.
