nextGEMS🌍 Pushing #ClimateModeling to the Next Level
What happens when you run global climate #simulations at the kilometre scale for multiple years
In our latest blog post, we share insights from a landmark #nextGEMS study using ECMWF’s Integrated Forecasting System coupled to high-resolution ocean–sea ice models.
These simulations capture fine-scale processes—from mesoscale #OceanEddies to #UrbanHeat patterns—that coarser models can’t resolve, offering a more realistic picture of our climate system. Along the way, the team tackled key challenges, from water and #EnergyConservation to improving the simulation of #ExtremePrecipitation and polar sea ice leads.
💡 The results point towards more accurate, actionable climate information—but also highlight the huge computational demands of this frontier.
