Episode description
The Met Office hosts some the largest computers in the UK to predict the weather and changes in the climate. Best known for the Public Weather Service, the Met Office also advises UK government and other organisations world wide. The difficulties of modelling such a complex system as the Earth's atmosphere, how it is actually done and what future computational challenges lie ahead will be discussed.
This talk was given as part of our MSc in HPC's 'HPC Ecosystem' course.
