Multi-scale Simulation and Modeling Research Group

A coupled non-hydrostatic atmosphere-ocean model has been developed, capable of multiscale-multiphysics simulation according to purpose or use. The coupled model has been optimized for the Earth Simulator, and has reached a peak computational efficiency of 55%.
