High resolution climate modeling on large supercomputers

Session ID#: 75786

Session Description:
High resolution climate modeling offers significant opportunities for improving the quality of simulations. This is particularly relevant for modeling of water cycle processes and extreme events which are inherently multiscale and have important societal implications. Increase in model resolution and complexity presents significant challenges on many fronts. These include evaluation, diagnosis, and analysis of model simulations and predictions, model initialization and data assimilation, uncertainty quantification, and computational performance. This session aims to bring together scientists who develop, run, evaluate, and analyze atmosphere models, ocean models, and coupled models of climate and Earth systems at high resolution as well as scientists who enable these models to run efficiently on high performance computing architectures. This session also encourages presentations on high resolution simulations from model intercomparison projects such as HighResMIP, DYAMOND, and OMIP, as well as development of observational datasets and metrics for evaluation of high resolution simulations.
