WarmWorld-Easier Meeting at the JSC

A successful WarmWorld-Easier meeting in March 2025 brought together 21 project members from German Climate Computing Centre (DKRZ), University of Cologne, and Climate Service Center Germany (GERICS), Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (MPI-M), European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) and Karlsruher Institut für Technologie (KIT) at Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC). The meeting was organized by Rajveer Saini and Carsten Hinz from the Large-Scale Data Science (LSDS) division.

The project members met to assess progress and collaborate on common methodologies and innovative workflows for ICON, a global numerical weather and climate prediction model, and ECMWF’s Integrated Forecast System (IFS). From improving interoperability to streamlining data management, discussions focused on critical advancements driving the project forward.

Developments at the JSC focus on the access to simulation and forecasting results. In collaboration with DKRZ, a data catalog is being developed with the goal of a federated catalog and data access. The integration of the Free Evaluation System Framework (FREVA) into Jupyther-JSC will facilitate dataset browsing in a first step. This will simplify data analysis performed on our HPC systems.
