Developing a numerical model framework for future weather prediction and research

Christian Kühnlein

European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), Bonn, Germany

 

Despite decades of progress in resolution and skill of atmospheric models for weather prediction, significant potential exists to enhance their physical fidelity and computational efficiency. Legacy model infrastructures and methods can hinder the adoption of emerging energy-efficient computing technologies, seamless integration of data-driven approaches, and increasing resolution. The models can also lack flexibility needed to support scientific research and collaborative initiatives. This presentation will highlight ECMWF’s ongoing model development, in a close collaboration with Swiss member state partners and in Destination Earth, towards a future framework for weather prediction and research. Key aspects include a high-level programming model and numerical methods advancements for high resolution and complex terrain.
