A high-resolution boost for global climate modeling

About

A computationally efficient statistics-based approach has made it possible to emulate global climate simulations at ultra-high spatial resolution for the first time, shows research by a KAUST-led team.

“Climate simulations generated by Earth system models are indispensable for advancing understanding of climate processes, predicting future changes and developing strategies to address the challenges posed by climate change,” says KAUST postdoc Yan Song. “However, generating these simulations requires extensive computation, often taking weeks or months.”
