Geophysical Fluid Simulation Research Group
- Group Leader
- Wataru Ohfuchi (Profile)
The Geophysical Fluid 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.
- OFES Data Access
- Earth Simulator Center has started a public access service to outputs of an ultra-high resolution oceanic simulation, which is conducted on Earth Simulator using OFES (OGCM for Earth Simulator). Three-dimensional data of velocities, temperature, and salinity fields and two-dimensional data including sea surface height, which represent well climatological oceanic fields.
