ESPC Computational Efficiency of Earth System Models

Abstract

Successful operational implementation of the global ESPC fully coupled system in 2018 will require that the coupled system and the constituent models are able to run efficiently and in a timely manner on Navy operational computer systems to ensure that products produced by the systems are available for fleet user consumption and downstream dependencies. This product will analyze and modify the atmosphere model (NAVGEM) and the ocean model (HYCOM) to ensure that the ESPC coupled system is able to take advantage of modern computational platforms and increase computational efficiency and scalability. Instrument, analyze, and modify the Navy s global atmosphere model (NAVGEM), global ocean model (HYCOM), and global atmosphere data assimilation system (NAVDAS-AR) to increase the scalability of the component systems and thereby improve the computational efficiency of the ESPC system as a whole.
