- Many conclusions in climate science depend on simulations carried out with the highest possible grid resolution This paper represents at the time the largest HPC project ever supported by the European Commission, producing simulated climate at a range of resolutions. Beyond getting the model to run at the required scale, the key computing contribution was to establish the systems and workflow to manage and move hundreds of terabytes of data in near real time while keeping half of a world-class HPC platform busy over months. This work has engendered many follow up projects and dozens of papers.
