| 15 | Development of a user-friendly software package (INIFOR) for initialzation and forcing of <new model> with data from mesoscale atmospheric models of DWD. |
| 16 | Allow model applicability to various weather situations and to future climate projections. |
| 17 | Perform a climate study using the cuboid method developed at DWD ,i.e. application of <new model> for at least 8 different weather situations and statistical post-processing of the results |

| 22 | == Work program == |
| 23 | ''WP-D3.1'' |
| 24 | |
| 25 | Introduction to the models (COSMO/ICON and PALM) and to the data bases of DWD. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | ''WP-D3.2'' |
| 28 | |
| 29 | Development of a first version of the software package INIFOR which will customize output from meso-scale models for forcing <new model>. A selection of meteorological data for model tests will be prepared for all subprojects in Module A. |
| 30 | |
| 31 | ''WP-D3.3'' |
| 32 | |
| 33 | The package INIFOR will be extended by processing meteorological variables, needed by the new implemented processes (i.e. soil water cycle, energy budget in buildings) in <new model>. A module for selection of weather situations from a series of weather-/climate-data given user-specified criteria will be included into the pre-final version of INIFOR. A selection of meteorological data for field experiments (Module B) will be prepared for all subprojects in Module A. |
| 34 | |
| 35 | ''WP-D3.4'' |
| 36 | |
| 37 | A trial study of urban climate, incl. climate change will be performed for a chosen city (defined in coordination with Module B) using <new model>,INIFOR and the “cuboid-method”. |
