Dr. Barker will provide a short history of the development of NWP and climate modelling\/projections, emphasizing the increased reliance on supercomputers to deliver results as climate models become increasingly complex, and provide products and advice to an expanding range of stakeholders.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Climate science places many demands on supercomputers and software engineering: sheer computer power to number-crunch billions of calculations \/ second to provide timely weather\/climate predictions; storage of \u2018big data\u2019; cross-platform efficiency; robustness; and reproducibility. Dr. Barker will provide examples of how these challenges have been addressed to date, and end with a forward-look of the future where the increasing complexity, the cloud, machine learning, and the advent of novel HPC architectures will require expanded partnerships between climate, computational and data science
