🚀 Our #nextGEMS overview paper is out!

After three years of intense collaboration, we’re thrilled to share a comprehensive look at what the nextGEMS project has achieved: a milestone for #ClimateModelling 🌐

For the first time ever, nextGEMS has produced multidecadal #climate simulations with kilometer-scale resolution across the ocean, land, and atmosphere, using the ICON and IFS-FESOM Earth system models. 🌍

🔹 The project unfolded over four development cycles, each releasing new configurations of ICON and IFS-FESOM.
🔹 These were rigorously evaluated at our hackathons, bringing together climate scientists, software engineers, HPC experts, and users from sectors like energy and agriculture.
🔹 By the end of the fourth cycle, we successfully ran 30-year simulations (2020–2049) at an impressive ~500 simulated days per day on the Levante supercomputer at German Climate Computing Center | DKRZ |.
🔹 Simulations reached ~5 km resolution in the ocean and ~10 km on land and in the atmosphere, offering unprecedented detail.

Furthermore, the simulations form a core building block for the Climate Change Adaptation Digital Twin in the Destination Earth (DestinE) initiative. In other words, nextGEMS' work paves the way for the next generation of European climate research. 🇪🇺

🙌 During the past 2 days, the #TerraDT project team kicked off in Helsinki, charting the first steps towards a #digitaltwin of Earth’s frozen regions ❄️& the land surface 🌿. This EU-funded project, led by the CSC–IT Center for Science (Finland), aims to enhance the #DestinationEarth climate twin’s modeling capabilities. With #MPIM scientists & the #ICON model onboard, TerraDT is going to expand our understanding! 🌍💡

An update from @kristianpagh on the very impressive #destinationEarth #Extremes Digital twin project for #NMM2024 - great case study of the Ianos medicane in 2020.

Also, as he points out impressive diversity of people compared to the old white men in the oil painting!

We are also proud to announce that #DestinationEarth, a flagship project of the European Commission, has awarded Peter Kalverla for his “visionary” proposal! Read more about his plans on making this vision become a reality! Congrats, Peter! 🥳🎉

For various reasons I've bene thinking about the #DigitalTwins of the Earth lately. Like many in the scientific community I've found the whole thing a bit confusing, but after a chat with @kristianpagh (always a good idea) and a browse on this website, I think I understand the idea more solidly. If you're interested in #DestinationEarth #DestinE - it's worth a read

Lion's eyes are quite large with round pupils that are three times as big as a human's. A second eyelid, called a nictitating membrane, helps to clean and protect the eye. Lions can't move their eyes from side to side very well, so have to move their whole head when they want to look in different directions.

It was a great workshop with many interesting talks. If you want to see me running out of time while talking about #DestinationEarth and the #HPC adaptation challenges targeting #EuroHPC for #DestinE, check out the recording!

I have been silently reading along here for two days while getting acquainted with the platform, so I guess it's high time for the customary #introduction:

I'm a computational scientist in the performance and portability team at #ECMWF, mostly working on getting the IFS ("euro model") run on GPUs - amongst others to ready #DestinationEarth's digital twins for #EuroHPC's current pre-Exascale and upcoming supercomputers.
