Session Proposal: High-Resolution Earth System Modeling on Large Supercomputers (AGU25)

A062
High-Resolution Earth System Modeling on Large Supercomputers

Session ID#: 249101

Session Description:
High-resolution Earth system modeling offers significant opportunities for improving the quality of simulations from small scales (e.g., water cycle processes and extreme events) to large scales (e.g., tropical Pacific trends). Increasing model resolution and complexity presents significant challenges on many fronts. These include evaluation, diagnosis, and analysis of model simulations, ensemble generation, as well as uncertainty quantification, computational performance, and model initialization and data assimilation. Besides these topics, submissions are particularly encouraged on ~10 km and ultra-high (order km) scales, with contributions on developments to improve the speed, scalability, and accuracy of dynamical cores, as well as parameterization suitable for the 10-1km range. This session also encourages presentations on model intercomparison projects such as HighResMIP, DYAMOND, and OMIP, ensemble modeling at high resolution, and modeling experiments and analysis to address the balance of simulation length (including spinup), resolution, and ensemble size.
