Sensitivity Study:

Time Step

Simulations of the PIRCS-1(b) period of 00Z 1 June 1993 - 00Z 31 July 1993 are compared. The simulations are made with MM5 at the Argonne National Laboratory on the teraflop computer Jazz , which is composed of a cluster of INTEL processors. The time step in the sensitivy experiments is reduced, thereby providing an estimate of variability of results for a certain model.
