E3SM Simulation Campaigns
The E3SM project’s scientific goals address three areas of importance to earth system research: water cycle, biogeochemistry, and cryosphere. >>ECP Super-parametrization
The E3SM project team is working to develop a cloud-resolving Earth system model with the throughput necessary for multi-decade, coupled high resolution climate simulations. >>From the Program Manager:
The E3SM project team is working to develop a cloud-resolving Earth system model with the throughput necessary for multi-decade, coupled high resolution climate simulations. >>E3SM Computing Resources
In 2018, E3SM is expanding it's pool of computational resources with a new machine that will support all BER funded projects working with the E3SM model. >>
Major Research Directions
Water Cycle
Research focused on understanding and developing the capability to project changes in water within the Earth's system by more realistic portrayals of hydrologic features >>
BGC and Energy
E3SM is examining how more complete treatments of nutrient cycles, land-use/land-cover, and land disturbances such as fires affect biogeochemical cycles. >>
Performance
Next generation model development, high performance algorithms and exploration of parallel optimizations targeting upcoming exascale DOE computer facilities. >>
