Latest supercomputers enable high-resolution climate models, truer simulation of extreme weather

Thursday, November 13, 2014 - 04:30 in Earth & Climate

Not long ago, it would have taken several years to run a high-resolution simulation on a global climate model. But using some of the most powerful supercomputers now available, scientists were able to complete a run in just three months. What they found was that not only were the simulations much closer to actual observations, but the high-resolution models were far better at reproducing intense storms, such as hurricanes and cyclones.
