The C2SM June 2017 Newsletter has been published - please have a look! 

Together with the Federal Institute of Meteorology and Climatology MeteoSwiss we jointly develop and deploy the weather and climate model COSMO, together with the international Consortium of Small-Scale Modeling. As part of this collaboration, an ensemble based data assimilation system (KENDA) has been developed and implemented in the operational forecasting suite of MeteoSwiss. To join this development effort we are seeking a Scientific Collaborator in Data Assimilation (80-100%).

After an extensive hardware upgrade at the end of last year, the CSCS supercomputer Piz Daint is now the most powerful mainframe computer outside Asia. With a peak performance in excess of 20 petaflops, it will enable pioneering research in Switzerland and Europe. C2SM partners rank under the top users of Piz Daint in the field of weather and climate research.

The Swiss Society of Meteorology (Schweizerische Gesellschaft für Meteorologie (SGM)) and the Center for Climate Systems Modeling (C2SM) are organising the SGM-C2SM Media and Climate Communication Workshop 2017.

ETH scientists perform a Pan-European climate simulation using a computational mesh fine enough to simulate thunderstorms and rain showers.
