Dear Colleague,
We hope you will submit a paper for presentation in our session on
“Earth System Modeling at the Extreme Scale” at the 2014 AGU Fall Meeting.
Earth system modeling is entering a new era as the climate community
transitions to extreme-scale computing and as the need for more capable
models becomes increasingly evident in the face of “no-analogs” climate
regimes emergent under global warming. We invite presentations at the
frontiers of climate simulation that address the prospects, early
development, and proof-of-principle experiments with the next generation
of Earth System Models (ESMs). We seek talks and posters demonstrating
how to best exploit recent advances in theory, applied mathematics,
computational science, process-scale modeling, uncertainty
quantification, and observational assimilation to make ESMs more
accurate, robust, scalable, and extensible. These more robust ESMs are
characterized by increasing reliance on more mechanistic, and more
computationally intensive, treatments of core climate processes.
Examples include global cloud resolving models, regional large eddy
simulation models, high-resolution full-physics land ice models, and
high-throughput treatments of chemical and biogeochemical transport
across the climate system.
Our invited speakers include:
* Omar Ghattas, Univ. of Texas at Austin, on next-generation ice sheet
models
* Peter Lauritzen, NCAR, on atmospheric transport
* David Randall, Colorado State University, on cloud/turbulence
interactions
* Hisashi Yashiro, RIKEN, on non-hydrostatic global cloud-resolving models
The session will be part of the Global Environmental Change topical area
and will be co-sponsored by the Atmospheric Sciences, Biogeosciences,
and the Cryosphere topical areas.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you would like further information.
We look forward to your contributions in this emerging area of Earth
Science at the 2014 AGU Fall Meeting.
Sincerely,
Bill Collins, Forrest Hoffman, and Steve Price
