Atmospheric Processes at the EERIE General Assembly

Atmospheric Processes at the EERIE General Assembly

Research group

Hannah Christensen, Bobby Antonio, Kristian Strommen and Simon Michel all attended the EERIE General Assembly at the Barcelona Supercomputing Centre from 9-13 March.

EERIE (“European Eddy RIch Earth System Models”) is an exciting project funded through the Horizon Europe Work programme --- our goal is to build the next generation of extremely high-resolution climate models, where the ocean and atmosphere are represented with unprecedented detail.

Hannah is leading the work package on using Machine Learning to improve and understand these high-resolution models, and to better quantify uncertainty in climate projections. We’re also involved in the work-packages focusing on understanding the impact of ocean 
behaviour on the atmosphere. 

At the general assembly, Simon, Hannah, and Bobby all presented posters on recent research carried out under EERIE. Kristian and Bobby gave talks, and Hannah chaired a session. We also met with close collaborators at PBL, to plan research for the coming months. A productive and inspiring time was had by all

- Hannah Christensen: "Error in ERA5 identified using GraphCast"
- Bobby Antonio: "Coupling a machine learning emulator of the atmosphere to a dynamical    ocean model"
- Simon Michel, Nayeli Liprandi Cortes (PBL), Meike Scherrenberg (PBL): "Emulating 
 High-Resolution Climate Dynamics to Improve Climate Interactions in the  IMAGE Integrated  Assessment Model"
