Coupled climate models on Grids
Shyam Sundar · 2007
A climate system model consists of four loosely inter-connected sub-components for atmosphere, ocean land surface and sea-ice. The computational requirements of a climate system model is much larger than the running of an individual component. A computational grid based system offers the benefits of more number and types of parallel resources and hence more computational power than available in a local organization. Progress of an application on a grid system is not entirely dependent on the administration policies, resource loads and resource availabilities associated with a single parallel system of a single site.
