Geophysical Fluid Simulation Research Group (GFSG)
The Geophysical Fluid Simulation Research Group (formerly known as the Atmosphere and Ocean Simulation Research Group) is advancing the frontiers of research in predictability and mechanism of atmospheric and oceanic high-impact events, such as heat waves, heavy snow, and variability of the Kuroshio extension area, by global, ultra-high resolution and large computational simulations.
