Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAdam Herrington is a Project Scientist II based in Boulder with eight years of experience developing and verifying high-resolution numerical models for atmosphere, glaciology, and tectonics. He specializes in reformulating sub-grid closures for next-generation global models, notably implementing an EDMF-style unified convection scheme using CLUBB within the Community Atmosphere Model. His work spans variable-resolution grids, resolution-sensitivity testing, and coupled atmosphere–ocean–ice-sheet simulations, translating petascale/exascale computing gains into robust physical parameterizations. Adam combines deep domain expertise with heavy-data fluency—massive model datasets and reduced-complexity testbeds are core to his approach—and has a track record of moving novel numerical methods from prototype to production in major community models.
