Weather and Ocean Modeling with Super Computers

The practical impact of weather, climate and ocean prediction on the world’s population and economy drives the usage of high performance computing (HPC) for earth system modeling. The socioeconomic impacts of improved predictive capabilities are well-recognized by scientists as well as government leaders. The earth’s environment plays an important role in shaping economies and infrastructures, and touches upon nearly every aspect of our daily lives, including recreational activities, food supplies and energy resources.
