StormSPEED, funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), will integrate the DoE's nonhydrostatic (NH) version of the Spectral Element (SE) dynamical core and performant Semi-Lagrangian tracer advection scheme into NCAR's Community Atmosphere Model (CAM). These new features will enable nonhydrostatic, computationally-efficient, kilometer-scale Earth system simulations with the Community Earth System Model (CESM) developed at NCAR.
- Provide a significant enhancement to CESM which will enable kilometer-scale Earth system simulations
- Innovate CESM's computational design
- Educate the next generation of Earth system scientists
- Highly optimized and efficient dycore design
- CPU/GPU implementation making use of the Kokkos library.
- Reuse of the infrastructure and dynamics/physics interface coupling layer.
- Full integration into the CIME framework to provide seamless access to the new functionality
