Coupled Global Climate System Modelling
Improve coupled global climate model simulation accuracy and simulate global climate response over several centuries with different atmospheric carbon dioxide gas scenarios. This will achieve a more accurate prediction of the impact of green house gas emmisions on the global climate.

Significant Achievements, Anticipated Outcomes and Future Work
Project e93 used 450 SU's during 2003 on the coupling via MPI (Message Passing Interface) of the beta release of MOM4 and the OASIS data coupler. Work on MOM4 (supplied by Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL/NOAA Department of Commerce)) consisted of porting the code to the APAC National Facility SC and modification of the code to exchange data with the OASIS coupler. This work was carried out in conjunction with project f27 where the OASIS code (supplied by the European Centre of Research and Advanced Training in Scientific Computing) was modified to be compatible with both the version of MPI installed on the SC, and the queuing structure in place at the APAC National Facility.
Computational Techniques Used
The MOM4 ocean code uses a finite difference solution to the primitive ocean equations with parallelism is via MPI.
