1. Introduction

Dear reader,

In this issue we present ESiWACE - the Centre of Excellence in Simulation of Weather and Climate in Europe.

The Earth’s climate is changing at a rate that is unprecedented in at least the last 2000 years. Earth's globally averaged near-surface air temperature is already about 1.1 degrees warmer than during the pre-industrial era, and we are certain that the warming will continue. How will this influence our local weather, in particular the amount and distribution of extreme weather conditions and thus our lives and our economy?

New tools are needed to answer those questions. We are confident that a new class of weather and climate models, so-called Storm Resolving Models (SRM), will enable a step change in our ability to simulate the effects of climate change down to regional scales. These new models have computational grids with a mesh size of 3km or less, which is much finer than the grids of traditional climate models, and allows for a better and more physical representation of atmospheric and oceanic circulation systems. SRM will be an indispensable element of the Digital Twins of the Earth to be implemented within the EU's Destination Earth initiative.

Storm and Cloud Resolving Models will only become possible with Exascale Computing. A central objective of ESiWACE is to prepare European flagship codes for the upcoming EuroHPC supercomputers. This does not only include the model code itself, but also dealing with the associated data deluge and complex workflows.

For more information on ESiWACE and our activities visit our website.

OASIS3-MCT coupler is a software allowing synchronized exchanges of coupling information between numerical codes representing different components of the climate system. Current OASIS developers are CERFACS (Toulouse, France) and Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (Paris, France). A new version of the OASIS coupler, OASIS3-MCT_5.0, is now available! Find out what’s new and how to get the tool. >> Read More
MaX-logo-without-subline.png
Quantum ESPRESSO is an integrated suite of Open-Source computer codes for electronic-structure calculations and materials modeling at the nanoscale. It is based on density-functional theory, plane waves, and pseudopotentials. It is a suite for first-principles electronic-structure calculations and materials modelling, distributed for free and as free software under the GNU General Public License. Now, QuantumESPRESSO v.7.0 is released! The new release comes with a significant performance step-up of the QE Car-Parrinello (CP) quantum-engine on machines with CUDA GPGPUs. The work done by the Max centre (CINECA and SISSA groups) eliminates a few significant bottlenecks that hindered the efficient usage of CP with accelerators and permits this new version of CP to reduce 10x the number of node-hours for a simulation.Learn more about new features and updates. >> Read More
