The Cornell University and National Center for Atmospheric Research I-WRF Project is developing and deploying an integrated multi-container framework for the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model to enable multi-node containerized simulations complete with verification and visualization capabilities. I-WRF lowers the bar for multidisciplinary researchers who wish to use WRF in parallel on multiple platforms, ranging from desktops to clouds and supercomputers. By enabling easier and more effective use of this set of applications, I-WRF makes atmospheric modeling accessible to a broader range of researchers (atmospheric scientists, civil engineers, agricultural scientists, etc.) who no longer must set up and maintain a complex suite of software applications on their own. The portability, traceability, and ease of deploying the multi-node containerized framework supports the urgent need for more and better simulations of possible future climate states signaled by the UN Climate Change Conference and the establishment of the NSF Engineering Research Visioning Alliance on The Role of Engineering in Addressing Climate Change.I-WRF application containers incorporate software tools developed mainly at NCAR. These include the WRF model and Model Evaluation Tools (METplus), as well as visualization and analysis tools that are enhanced for interactive investigations. I-WRF containers are optimized to run on multiple platforms and to enable parallel analysis of large domains with a high level of spatial discretization. They will be freely available at a container repository and discoverable with common tools. Adopters can use the I-WRF container components to build and modify their own containers, thus saving time and increasing overall container availability and sharing within and between scientific communities. To prove container validity, scaling studies will be performed on a range of use cases. These include examining the evolution of renewable energy generation in a changing climate, the effect of land use and climate change on severe weather events, and the relation between air quality and human morbidity and mortality. Three postdocs will engage in the use case studies. The ability to run I-WRF multi-node simulations on desktops will overcome current obstacles in training students to use WRF at NCAR and in university course curricula.This project is supported by the Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure in the Directorate for Computer & Information Science & Engineering and the Directorate for Geosciences.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

康奈尔大学和国家大气研究中心I-WRF项目正在为天气研究和预测（WRF）模型开发和部署一个综合的多国框架（WRF）模型，以启用具有验证和可视化功能的多节点容器化模拟。 I-WRF降低了希望在多个平台上并行使用WRF的多学科研究人员的标准，从台式机到云和超级计算机。通过使I-WRF更加有效，更有效地利用这组应用程序，可以使大气建模可供更广泛的研究人员（大气科学家，土木工程师，农业科学家等）访问，他们不再必须自行设置并维护复杂的软件应用程序。可移植性，可追溯性和易于部署多节点容器化框架，迫切需要更多地模拟联合国气候变化会议，并建立NSF工程研究愿景联盟对工程的作用在应对气候变化中的作用。I-WRF应用程序容器在NC ARMENAL INC ARMAR Incormant.I。其中包括WRF模型和模型评估工具（METPLUS），以及可为交互式调查增强的可视化和分析工具。 I-WRF容器被优化为在多个平台上运行，并可以对具有高度空间离散化的大域进行并行分析。它们将在容器存储库中自由使用，并可以使用常见工具可发现。采用者可以使用I-WRF容器组件来构建和修改自己的容器，从而节省时间并增加整体容器的可用性并在科学社区之间和之间共享。为了证明容器有效性，将对一系列用例进行扩展研究。其中包括检查在不断变化的气候下可再生能源产生的演变，土地利用和气候变化对恶劣天气事件的影响以及空气质量与人类发病率和死亡率之间的关系。三个博士后将参与用例研究。 The ability to run I-WRF multi-node simulations on desktops will overcome current obstacles in training students to use WRF at NCAR and in university course curricula.This project is supported by the Office of Advanced Cyber​​infrastructure in the Directorate for Computer & Information Science & Engineering and the Directorate for Geosciences.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit和更广泛的影响审查标准。
