CASA SDL Climate Science

Within the CASA SDL for Climate Science JSC, ICE-3 und ICE-4 bundle resources for advancing atmospheric modelling on current and future HPC systems. Bringing together Earth System research and computational science.

Mission and Objectives

• Bringing together Earth System research and computational science
• Accurate and comprehensive simulations of atmospheric transport and chemistry
• Resolving physical processes on smaller scales to enhance the understanding of the underlying processes and reduce uncertainties in climate simulations
• Porting, optimizing, modularizing, and refactoring Earth System Modelling codes, e.g. for GPUs
• Innovative methods and tools for the integration and analysis of complex, heterogeneous, and big datasets related to the Earth System
