Computational Oceanography: New Knowledge, Capabilities, and Challenges Posters
Session ID#: 9951
Session Description:
Oceanographic processes are highly complex and often strongly coupled across temporal and spatial scales. In addition, many of these processes are tightly coupled to other climate components, like the atmosphere or cryosphere. Continuing developments in software paradigms and hardware infrastructures make it possible to address these processes at increasingly higher resolutions, with more complex physics, or with approaches that are complementary to traditional forward-in-time models.
For this session we invite contributions that address any aspect of computational oceanography. We invite presentations that describe 1) computational-centric investigations that enhance knowledge of these processes through discovery of previously unseen effects or enhanced analysis capabilities (e.g., Grand Challenge computations); 2) advances in numerical paradigms and parameterizations (e.g., time stepping and implicit methods; spatial discretizations; new parameterizations of unresolved processes); 3) advances in hardware paradigms (e.g., HPC or graphics-processor (GPGPU) implementations; new enabling hardware, such as programmable accelerators or newer GPGPUs; hardware-centric programming models); 4) advances in uncertainty estimation and visualization.
