About my education in the graduate schools and researches afterwards
Chuntao Liu
Research Associate ProcessorDepartment of Atmospheric sciences, University of Utah
Phase I: Modeler as a MS student Lanzhou, China (1993-1996)
Research Model simulation of Sand dust storm in China
Tools MM4 + homemade embedded transport equation
Computer VAX-780
OS + compiler VMS + Fortran + NCAR graphics
Storage Tape with 60 MB capacity weight about 2 kg!!
Efficiency About 3 days to have 24 hr simulation (64x46x16@40km & 90s)
Phase II: Modeler as a Researcher CAMS, Beijing, China (1996-1998)
Research Model simulation of Typhoon and others
Tools MM5 (transplanted to PC)
Computer PC – Pentium
OS + compiler Windows 95 + PowerStation Fortran 4.0 + NCAR graphics
Storage Harddrives with 2x200MB
Efficiency 24 hr for 24 hr simulation (61x61x16@40 km & 90s)
Phase III: Observationalist as a MS + PhD student Laramie, Wyoming (1998-2003)
