Introduction to the Special Issue on Parallel Computing in Climate and Weather Modeling

Abstract In this introduction to the special issue on ‘Parallel computing in climate and weather modeling’, we review the historical development of computer models of the weather and climate system, and the application of novel, high performance parallel computing technologies to the execution of these models. We also provide some context for the articles that follow by summarizing the structure of typical models and the numerical methods used to implement them. Finally, we describe the eight articles in the special issue, and outline challenges that must be addressed in future research.
