New High-Resolution Model for Weather and Climate Research
In the PASC project KILOS, the ECMWF, the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS), and ETH Zurich are teaming up to develop FVM, a new weather and climate model of ECMWF, adapted to the latest computer architectures. First simulations can simulate small-scale orographic windstorms as observed in northeastern Switzerland (Laseyer storms).
