Please consider submitting an abstract to our modeling and computational methods session "Addressing Challenges for the Next Generation of Earth System Models" at the AGU Fall Meeting 2020. This year's meeting will be mostly virtual, with featured content being presented from December 7 until December 11. We welcome abstract for all earth system components as well as methods to address their coupling and interaction.
Abstracts can be submitted at https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm20/gateway.cgi. The deadline for submissions is July 29, 2020. Further details on our session are found below.
AGU session: #103241
Addressing Challenges for the Next Generation of Earth System Models
Advances in computational resources from current and planned HPC systems have enabled Earth System models with finer spatial resolution and additional complexity than was supported by past systems. However, obtaining physically accurate yet efficient results requires both new model formulations (e.g. non-hydrostatic equations, realistic process coupling, or complex convection processes) and new methodologies (e.g. machine learning for improving/emulating parameterization schemes or domain specific languages for code refactoring/optimization). These new model approaches and methodologies in turn require new numerical techniques for the discretization of time, physical space, and parameter space to address issues of scalability and data storage on target HPC ecosystems, which include both CPUs and GPUs. This session will present progress on the new modeling approaches, numerical techniques, and data management strategies that will enable the Earth System models of the future.
We hope to see you at AGU,
