ESMF Machine Installed!

The UCI Earth System Modeling Facility (ESMF) is a high-performance computer and storage system devoted to the integration, synthesis, and analysis of large models and datasets required to advance fundamental understanding of the coupled physical climate, chemistry, and biogeochemical cycles of the Earth system. The ESMF will be used operationally (i.e., 100-year simulations) to address some outstanding questions about feedbacks anticipated with global change in the 21st century. These improvements will feed back into national climate modeling efforts. The ESMF will be maintained as a multi-user resource as part of the UCI Department of Earth System Science (ESS).The primary users of the ESMF are ESS professors and their associated researchers, post-doctoral fellows, students and collaborators.
