Session Proposal: Advances in numerical modeling and algorithm development of dynamical cores for global and regional weather and climate models. (AGU25)

A008
Advances in numerical modeling and algorithm development of dynamical cores for global and regional weather and climate models.

Session ID#: 247920

Session Description:
Developing Earth System models, including both short-term weather and long-term climate models, to operate at higher resolutions and capture finer spatial and temporal scales requires improvements in numerical methods for key model components, such as dynamical cores and process couplings, as well as the implementation of new HPC techniques. Advances in computing power have made it possible to enhance model complexity, but many models still face limitations due to low-order discretization and strategies designed for CPU-only architectures. A crucial challenge is striking a balance between achieving physically accurate simulations and ensuring computational efficiency. This session invites contributions on the development and analysis of advanced numerical strategies, computational techniques, and algorithmic improvements, and on optimizing the integration between dynamical cores and other model components to maximize computational efficiency and predictive accuracy. The goal is to address challenges in Earth System models and drive progress in weather and climate simulations across scales.
