The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $2,249,519 Project Grant under its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), doing business as the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), with a period of performance from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2030. The project aims to advance the capabilities of the Community Earth System Model (CESM), particularly its ocean component, Modular Ocean Model version 6 (MOM6), to enable high-resolution and ultra-high-resolution frontier applications and science. Key objectives include creating GPU-enabled and optimized MOM6 configurations to run efficiently on advanced supercomputers, and introducing the AMREX software framework within MOM6. This effort seeks to transform the scientific understanding of physical processes, including upper-ocean and air-sea interactions, teleconnection patterns, and their interplay with ocean biogeochemistry at small spatial scales. The project will also support the training and education of students as well as broader research, policymaking, and stakeholder communities.
