Session ID#: 15564

Session Description:
Global and regional models are heavily used for weather forecasting, policy decisions and as compact laboratories for improving our scientific understanding of the Earth system. The next generation of numerical methods for these models will respond to demands for scalability on massively parallel systems, increased complexity, and ultimately increased model accuracy.  In the future these advances will be used for answering pressing questions on global/regional scale interactions, extreme events, and regional scale climate change.  This session encompasses the development and application of new numerical methods for solving the equations of fluid motion and novel approaches for coupling the dynamics and physics.
