[Important Note 1]
Considering the collaboration project beginning in September of the new semester,
July-August is the perfect time to start negotiating.
To recruit as many labs as possible during this period,
we are flexible,
offering a substantial discount on the annual subscription fee
to the applicants,
in addition to the first-year fee waiver benefit.
Since our initial fundraising efforts are minimal for company operations only,
we can offer
larger discounts when multiple labs sign the contract simultaneously.
Labs that contact us earlier will receive larger discounts.
These discounts will continue to apply to annual subscription fees for subsequent years.
We strongly recommend
contacting us
before September.
[Important Note 2]
Initially, we assumed a small laboratory with a maximum of 30 members
as the contracting unit.
However, we changed this to include
the entire research institute or university as the contracting unit.
Multiple laboratories belonging to the same accounting unit
that jointly implement and use the RDC scheme
will be treated as a single contracting unit.
This is effectively a price reduction,
which will encourage many organizations to consider participating.

Preface
Thank you very much for your interest in the RDC scheme.
It has been two years and a half since we created
our website about the RDC scheme.
Before we launched the website, few people were aware of RDC.
But thanks to the current interest of many people in RDC,
thousands of people have visited the websites of our
company
and
product,
downloaded
our original papers,
and viewed the tweets/posts of our
company and
product.
A Google search
using the keywords “global warming”, “water vapor feedback”,
and “cumulus parameterization” has brought the main page of our RDC scheme
to the top of the list for over a year.
At the very least, we hope,
there is now probably no researcher in the field who has never heard of the RDC scheme.
The first step in our attempt to spread the RDC theory/scheme seems to have gone well.
And most importantly,
not only have we not found any inconsistencies in the RDC scheme ourselves,
but no one in the world has told us that it is wrong.
Our belief that the RDC scheme is the only way
to describe cumulus detrainment flow has not wavered at all.
We are confident in the RDC scheme.
Please do not underestimate RDC as just one issue among many warming studies.
It is the basis of a warming mechanism
that produces a strong positive water vapor feedback
that can explain the observed current accelerated global warming
which is surprising people.
The RDC scheme is the only way to represent the detrainment flows from the cumulus clouds.
It is impossible to express the RDC scheme,
which is a boundary value problem,
in terms of a combination of dynamics,
which is a time evolution problem.
In other words,
the RDC scheme is the most likely candidate to replace the DD method,
which currently seems unsuccessful and which we have shown to be physically flawed.
Above all, if RDC did not exist,
the atmosphere would not be able to maintain its equilibrium state.
The RDC scheme has already been validated by theory and by 2D atmospheric model results.
There is no reason why it should not work in a 3D atmosphere.
If the RDC scheme has explained the transport around cumulus clouds in a 3D atmosphere,
we can put an end to the cumulus parameterization problem
that has remained unsolved for half a century.
The RDC scheme is not only low risk, but also very ambitious and promising.
We invite you to examine
the RDC scheme described on our website.
The RDC scheme is not a dogmatic theory of our own.
You can
easily check the validity of the RDC scheme
in your own 3D atmospheric model
without modifying the code
by calculating the right-hand side of Eq. (8')
from the output data averaged over 10 hours.
If our reasoning is correct,
our contract can do more for your lab than hiring ten DD researchers.
If you wish to participate in RDC research but do not have sufficient funds,
we will make special consideration for you.
Our goal now is to show people the effectiveness of RDC
in transport around cumulus clouds in a real-time 3D atmosphere
and move forward with the RDC research, which is silent for now.
To achieve this goal,
we will do our best to help you with your RDC analysis and implementation.
Please contact us as soon as possible.
Let's break through to get climate prediction right!
[NOTE]
In particular,
if you have verified that the value of the right-hand side of equation (8')
is generally negative following to
the easy check procedure,
please contact us immediately.
You could be the first in the world
to report an RDC in a real-time 3D atmospheric model.
If you're understaffed for the RDC scheme analysis and implementation,
we will work with you.
Since we are the original and have experience in building and analyzing numerical models,
we will build the model, analyze the results,
and implement the RDC scheme in it
if we are provided with some research funds.
The following policies/guidelines are intended as a starting point.
We are flexible and all terms are negotiable.
We will be especially flexible to early applicants.
Just
contact us
and we can get started.
Policies/Guidelines for the Standard RDC Scheme License Agreement
Below is a summary of the policies/guidelines
for the standard RDC annual subscription plan.
We are willing to negotiate all terms with the applicants.
-
Contract Unit
A contract is an annual subscription to an Organization.
An Organization can include multiple sub-organizations (Laboratories, etc.),
but all of the sub-organizations must belong to the same accounting unit
and must jointly implement and use the RDC scheme.
-
Contract ID
Each contract Organization is assigned a contract ID.
All external presentations and publications
must include the contract ID
along with the fact that the RDC scheme was used.
-
License Fee
The anual subscription fee is
250,000 EUR for the first year
and
120,000 EUR for a consecutive year.
[Benefits for the First Group of Subscribers]
-
For the first group of subscribers,
the rates applicable after one year (120,000 EUR) will also apply to the first year,
and the higher subscription fee for the first year (250,000 EUR) will be waived.
-
They will also receive UNLIMITED FREE support to analyze and implement the RDC scheme.
This support includes a suggested development plan, step-by-step guidance,
and Q&A sessions.
(Of course, once you sign up, you are free to implement the RDC scheme on your own
without following our plan.)
-
As stated in the red text at the top,
we are offering a special discount to those who contact us before September.
An even greater discount is available when multiple contracts are signed simultaneously.
The annual subscription fee for a user will be kept to be the same
for the consecutive years,
unless there is a significant change in the circumstances.
The amount for a NEW subscriber will be updated over time.
-
Duration of the Contract
After the exchange of the contract,
the contract comes into effect at the moment of receipt of payment
and is valid for one year thereafter.
-
User Rights
During the term of this Agreement, the user may quote,
implement and operate the RDC Scheme
for non-commercial purposes.
However, the content must be unique to the user
and use of the RDC Scheme itself as a principal is not permitted.
And of course, the copyrights of the original authors must be respected.
-
Use of Variants and Subtechnologies of the RDC Scheme
When using any variants or subtechnologies of the RDC scheme,
the user must be in the RDC scheme license agreement with Kaleidoscheme
for use of the original RDC Scheme.
The developers and implementors of the variants and subtechnologies
must explain this in advance to the third party who will be using them.
-
Commercial Use to Unidentified Third Parties
Commercial use in a final product form where the third parties using it cannot be identified,
such as publication as a book,
requires the user a separate commercial contract with Kaleidoscheme.
The terms of the contract depend on the percentage and importance of the RDC scheme
in the product's content.
-
Transfer and Sale of Products to Identified Third Parties
The user may transfer or sell to an identified third party a product
that is authorized to use the RDC Scheme,
such as new RDC algorithms
and codes for RDC scheme analysis and RDC scheme implementation.
In such cases, however,
the party to whom the user transfers or sells the product
must be in the RDC scheme license agreement with Kaleidoscheme
and the user must explain this to the third party in advance.
(In this case, the user is not required to pay any additional fees to us.)
-
Reporting Requirements
Prior to any external presentation or publication by the user,
and upon our request,
the user must report the details of the content and implementation to us
so that we can identify and correct any misunderstanding or misuse
of the RDC scheme by the user.
-
Collaboration Option
We will prepare an option for collaboration among participants.
If you wish, you can contribute to the RDC research by doing only part of the work,
e.g. only computing a 3D atmospheric model
or only solving the 2D RDC boundary value problem.
This option would reduce your workload and encourage you to apply.
-
Exemption from Implementation Requirement
The license agreement does not force users to implement the RDC scheme.
You can just keep the benefit for the early subscribers
without doing anything.
If you do not implement the RDC scheme and do not publicize it,
you are not required to report its contents to us.
[NOTE]
This suggests that a company that does not have the personnel or equipment
to conduct research could contribute by sponsoring RDC research.
In this case, we will do some consideration,
such as listing the company's name and
placing banners linking to the company on our website.
And we are also willing to prepare a new sponsorship agreement
at a lower price.
-
Flexible for Any Type of Engagement
If you do not have your own model or human resources to implement the RDC scheme,
you can make us involved directly in the work with you or even leave everything to us.
In that case, we will consider working either online or on-site.
We are flexible with any type of engagement.
-
Exceptional Considerations
If you are unable to enter into the RDC Scheme License Agreement at this time
due to fiscal year quotas,
please let us know. We will consider your request.
And we will make special consideration
for those wish to participate in RDC research but do not have sufficient funds.
-
Should circumstances change,
the terms of the Agreement may be updated from those set forth herein
at the time of annual renewal.
