High resolution Earth system modeling on large supercomputers
High resolution Earth system modeling on large supercomputers
Session ID#: 160126
Session Description:
High resolution Earth system modeling offers significant opportunities for improving the quality of simulations, particularly for water cycle processes and extreme events. Increase in model resolution and complexity presents significant challenges on many fronts. These include evaluation, diagnosis, and analysis of model simulations, as well as uncertainty quantification, computational performance, and model initialization and data assimilation. This session aims to bring together scientists who develop, run, evaluate, and analyze coupled global and regional Earth system models and their components at high resolution on high performance computers. This session welcomes contributions on development of parameterizations to improve model components and the coupled system at ultra-high (order km) resolutions. The session also encourages presentations on high-resolution simulations from model intercomparison projects such as HighResMIP, DYAMOND, and OMIP, development of metrics for evaluation of such high-resolution simulations, and modeling experiments and analysis to address the balance of simulation length, resolution, and ensemble size.
