Description We have continued to build a global climate model based on the current resolution of the UK weather prediction model, approximately 10km at mid-latitudes. The developments in the last year have seen us doubling the performance of the model, due to improvements in optimisation and in dynamics, as well as increasing the scalability of the model (how much speed up is achieved by using more computer cores for the same problem). We have run a number of 5-year test climate simulations and are currently in the process of comparing climatologies. The outputs have also been used to support a number of Newton Fund programmes, particularly in China, under the CSSP umbrella.
We have also built an experimental 5km global model (N2560), which has been used to participate in a model intercomparison campaign, called DYAMOND. A paper (Stevens et al. 2019) has already resulted and a number of new papers are in preparations from that campaign.
From last year (still relevant for the above):
Building on the previous developments below, which we are still exploiting, we have now constructed a 10km global model (N1280). This is still very preliminary and analysis is only starting to be explored at this time, as well as the addition of a number of ensemble experiments, to increase robustness.
We have been developing new, very high resolution global climate models, at unprecedented resolutions: 25km in the atmosphere and 1/4 degree in the ocean, which we ran in coupled mode for centennial time scales and with three ensemble members. We have also developed a companion atmosphere-only model, which we have run over similar time scales, using the OSTIA SSTs. Further, we have developed a 12km global climate model, which at the time was at higher resolution than the parent weather prediction model at the Met Office and that can be run without convective parameterisation, a major source of uncertainty in climate projections. Outputs from these models total to about 500TeraBytes and are analysed by twenty research teams worldwide. A new version of that atmospheric model, now at 10km is currently operated in experimental mode.
These models are the foundations for the next-generation coupled models, which we completed, using a 25km atmospheric model and a 1/12 degree (eddy-resolving) ocean model. This model forms the flagship of our submission to the CMIP6 portal, for the Sixth IPCC Assessment Report.
Exploitation Route Most of our ~100km(N96) and ~25km (N512) is flowing into CMIP6, as part of our HighResMIP submission. All data will be available via the CMIP6 portal, via ESGF.
Additionally, we are coordinating a number of process-bases analyses with the CLIVAR programme
We continue to collaborate with leading teams worldwide and we have designed a new protocol (HighResMIP) to the organisation (WGCM) that coordinates the sixth Climate Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP), which will support the next IPCC Assessment Report.
We are also using many of the outputs in our COPERNICUS Climate Services grant, WISC, which includes representatives from a number of insurance companies, as well as the OASIS consortium. We are using storm data to assess windstorm risk for a number of European portfolios, via the OASIS simulation engine.

Description The impact of the N1280 work is both on the Met Office, who may be using some of the speedups in the future, and on our ability to capture future grants, as the resolution chosen for our new H2020 proposal, called SOMMAR, is N1280 coupled to the NEMO ocean model at similar resolution (1/12 degrees). We need the climate model to ideally produce one year of simulation per day of computation, and we are coming close to the 1/2 year per day at this time. With the new supercomputers coming in the next two years we should be able to come quite close to the desired benchmark. The impact of this project is mostly on the Met Office model development teams, who are in fact our most immediate collaborators, but also on global modelling groups worldwide. We have in fact organised and run a special High-resolution Global Climate Modelling session at the 2014 EGU and at the HPC-HighResolution sessions in 2017,2018 and (upcoming) 2019 sessions in Vienna and this was oversubscribed, as well as attended by a record number of delegates. The ongoing work undertaken by the JWCRP High-Resolution Climate Modelling (HRCM) group has led to the development of a number of European and international collaborations. These collaborations are reflected by the recent funding of PRIMAVERA, an EU-Horizon 2020 project, launched in November 2015 (15M EUR for 4 years; coordinators: M. Roberts, Met Office; P. L. Vidale, NCAS; involving 19 European partners), and the development of a new IPCC Model Intercomparison Project, HighResMIP, whose protocol is delivered by PRIMAVERA (leads: R. Haarsma, KNMI; M. Roberts, Met Office; subscribed by 26 groups worldwide). The simulation outputs created by the HRCM group are also widely used (USA, Japan, Europe). 8 papers using our data and/or expertise have been accepted for publications this year (Vellinga et al, Tous et al, Liu et al, Walsh et al, Johnson et al, Daloz et al, Roberts et al, Birch et al), and 6 others have been published in 2016 (Schiemann et al, Fang et al, Wu et al, Ogata et al, Haarsma et al, Walters et al., Custodio et al.).

PI Contribution The collaboration via the various European Network activities have funded a post-doctoral researcher here at Reading. Moreover, the collaboration has enabled a secretariat in Paris that helped organise and run three European Earth System Modelling Summer Schools, which were held in 2012, 2014 and 2016.
Collaborator Contribution Partners contributed development time for the School materials, notes, etc. as well as a substantial amount of supercomputing time for running and analysing the Summer School modelling experiments. Further, each partner contributed 5-6 of post-doctoral demonstrators who came to the School for the duration (10 days each edition) and circa 20 lecturers, who came to the School for one day each.
Impact A number of new modelling environment tools have been developed by the collaboration, which are shared by the partners with their home institutions (research and operational centres). Further particulars on the ENES/ESIWACE web sites. For the UK, and this grant in particular, a modified ocean-atmosphere coupled (OASIS) has enabled us to exploit parallelism on Archer and the Met Office supercomputer. This is an extremely valuable contribution, as previously we were unable to perform large simulations in coupled mode, as the coupler did not scale. With regards to the Schools specifically, we have developed joint notes, scripts, etc., which guide the students in performing and analysing experiments.

PI Contribution We formed a working group to study hurricanes and typhoons in a range of high-resolution global climate models. This required accessing a number of high-profile simulations for common analysis, sharing tools, but also generating a number of new simulations to study the robustness of the climate change response of hurricanes in the climate system. A number of joint publications have emerged in a special issue of the Journal of Climate.
Collaborator Contribution Each partner contributed simulation data, analysis tools and PDRA time. A few partners provided supercomputing time. Columbia provided storage space for joint analysis.
Impact A special issue of the Journal of Climate was published in 2015. We are co-authors in three of those papers. A synthesis paper (Walsh et al.) appeared in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society. The collaboration is multi-disciplinary, in that some of the papers address societal issues, particularly around the area of predictability and civil protection.

The School offers post-graduate students the opportunity to learn about and work with three state-of-the-art Earth System Models and teaches the students to work together in experimental design and analysis, finally coming together in a mini-IPCC conference where their results are presented and discussed.
A strong element of the School is community building, and many of the students do stay connected while developing their careers.
