Computational Frontiers in Weather and Climate Modeling

Explore the cutting-edge world of weather and climate modeling in this 36-minute conference talk by Christiane Jablonowski from the University of Michigan. Delve into the complexities of High-Performance Computing (HPC) applications used in weather and climate models, examining hybrid and heterogeneous programming paradigms, high-efficiency numerical methods, and computational grids. Understand the importance of high-accuracy coupling techniques, including the interaction between resolved atmospheric fluid flow and unresolved physical parameterizations, as well as the connections between atmosphere, land, ocean, and ice components in climate simulations. Review current state-of-the-art modeling approaches employed by NOAA, the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), and the Department of Energy. Discover emerging computational frontiers, with a focus on high-resolution weather and climate modeling trends, the innovative 'digital twin' concept, and new computational paradigms shaping the future of environmental science and prediction.
