Number Formats, Error Mitigation, and Scope for 16‐Bit Arithmetics in Weather and Climate Modeling Analyzed With a Shallow Water Model
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems"
DOI: 10.1029/2020ms002246
Abstract: The need for high‐precision calculations with 64‐bit or 32‐bit floating‐point arithmetic for weather and climate models is questioned. Lower‐precision numbers can accelerate simulations and are increasingly supported by modern computing hardware. This paper investigates the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ddi.12527
Abstract: Anthropogenic climate change is already impacting ecological systems. Understanding how organisms respond to weather (short-term) and climate (long-term) variability, and the population and ecosystem-wide consequences of climate change, is a research priority. The appropriate use… read more here.
