TITLE: 

RTOFS_et_WPa initial implementation. 

CHANGE REQUEST CLASS: 

Major change

DESCRIPTION OF CHANGE: 

The first implementation of RTOFS_ET_wpa  (for Western Pacific) will
monitor radionuclide released near the East coast of Japan due to the
9.2 magnitude earthquake on March 11 and the ensuing Tsunami which
significantly damaged the Fukushima Dai’’chi Nuclear Plant. The
RTOFS_ET_wpa will provide medium term monitoring (2-5 years) of the
radionuclide in the Western Pacific ocean. As such, the expected shelf
life of RTOFS_ET_wpa is no more than 5 years based on dilution of
radionuclide tracer concentrations ( CS-137). The structure of the
modeling system  complies with the new vertical directory structure
being developed under the Environment Equivalency Project. 

RTOFS_ET_wpa (RTOFS_ET for West Pacific) will provide daily 1 day
nowcast and 1 day forecast for radionuclide tracer concentration in
the Western Pacific domain caused by the Fukushima nuclear
disaster. The initial and boundary conditions for ocean circulation
will be provided from the nowcast/forecast conditions of RTOFS_Global
system. Since there is limited data to validate the source of the
concentrations, there may be a need for resetting the initial loading
of the tracers which will require replacement of the restart file. 


BENEFIT OF CHANGE: 

The new forecast system under the new vertical directory structure,
following the Environment Equivalence Project, will speed up the
transition of NWP systems changes/upgrades from R2O, between EMC and
NCO, and vice-versa. 

USER IMPACT STATEMENT:

New forecast system. 

TECHNICAL IMPACT STATEMENT:

New forecast system. 

RISKS:

This is downstream application of the RTOFS-Global which depend on
successful nowcast and forecast step 1 of RTOFS-Global. There are no
downstream dependances for this system.
