Workshop: Enabling US Early Career Researchers to Advance Polar Science using High Performance Computing and Earth System Modeling

最近在高性能计算和科学理解方面的进展正在极大地改进地球系统模型。添加到地球系统模型中的新过程和能力正在导致新的发现和改进的认识，特别是在极地科学和极地预测能力方面。在推进极地研究和利用高性能计算资源方面的持续成功，需要在当今的地球系统建模和超级计算前沿领域吸引和参与早期职业极地科学家。为了培养极地研究和高性能计算前沿的下一代科学家，将于2018年8月举行为期两周的极地建模研讨会。该研讨会将支持大约15名早期职业极地科学家的出席。所有的研讨会活动将集中在社区地球系统模型（CESM）和高性能计算由国家科学基金会（NSF）在ncar -怀俄明超级计算中心（WYSC）支持。研讨会参与者将获得使用NWSC超级计算资源规划、设计和执行CESM模拟的经验。在第一周，参与者将参加非常成功和完善的CESM教程。在第二周，参与者将参与高级活动，具体侧重于利用CESM进行极地研究的能力建设。这个为期两周的研讨会代表了一个及时的机会，使新一代的极地科学家能够在他们的研究中使用高性能计算和地球系统建模。

Recent advances in both high performance computing and scientific understanding are dramatically improving Earth system models. The new processes and capabilities that are being added to Earth system models are leading to new discoveries and improved understanding, especially for polar science and polar prediction capabilities. Continued success in advancing polar research and leveraging of high performance computing resources requires engaging and involving early career polar scientists in today's Earth system modeling and supercomputing frontiers. In order to train the next generation scientists in polar research and frontiers in high performance computing, a two-week long Polar Modeling Workshop will take place in August 2018. The workshop will support the attendance of about 15 early career polar scientists. All workshop activities will focus on the Community Earth System Model (CESM) and high performance computing supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) at the NCAR-Wyoming Supercomputing Center (WYSC). Workshop participants will gain experience planning, designing, and executing CESM simulations using the NWSC Supercomputing Resources. In the first week, participants would attend the highly successful and well-established CESM tutorial. In the second week, participants would engage in advanced activities focused specifically on capacity building for conducting polar research using the CESM. This 2-week workshop represents a timely opportunity to empower a new generation of polar scientists to use high performance computing and Earth System Modeling in their research.
