ESM - Advanced Earth System Modelling Capacity

Das Vorhaben widmet sich der Entwicklung einer Erdsystem-Modellierungs-Infrastruktur (Erdsystem-Simulator) mit Modulen für die verschiedenen Kompartimente des Erdsystems mit der Möglichkeit Modellierung gekoppelter Erdsystem-Prozesse.

Aus dem Antrag:
Here, it is proposed that the Helmholtz Association advances the field of Earth system modelling by developing a world-leading Earth system modelling infrastructure - the Earth System Simulator. To this end, research will focus on enhancing the fidelity of critical Earth system compartments, where partners of the consortium have proven international expertise, on developing a modular and flexible Earth system coupling framework and on developing strong data assimilation and diagnostic capacities. These activities are flanked by a strategic process, which will be carried out with interested national and international key partners, and which will result in a long-term Earth system modelling strategy and an implementation plan for PoF-IV.
With the proposal "Advanced Earth System Modelling Capacity" the Research Field Earth and Environment in collaboration with the DLR, responds directly to a number of important recommendations that came out of the last review of the programme-oriented research (PoFIII), namely: Modelling capabilities should be strengthened, a clear modelling strategy should be developed, a long-term vision beyond 5 years for the re-search programmes should be established, and synthesis and integration of research must take on much greater importance in Helmholtz Association s strategy of "Think Big, Act Big."
