Managing complexity of Weather and Climate Code with diversity of skills and workflows

Thursday, 23 January 2025, 1.00pm to 2.00pm
Speaker: Iva Kavcic - UK Met Office
Venue: West Hub, East 1

LFRic is the new weather and climate model developed by the Met Office to replace the existing Unified Model (UM). LFRic is at the core of Momentum®, a new Unified Earth Environment Prediction Framework created by the Met Office and its partners to deliver a seamless modelling capability that meets the challenges of exascale computing. LFRic relies on fundamentally different data structures to UM. Those, as well increase in resolution, led to complex technical challenges, such as compiler support, high volume of data and utilising opportunities presented by heterogeneous architectures. These fundamental changes mean changing several components of the operational forecast workflow. The key elements for success of any complex programme are expertise and skills of people working on it. People working in NGMS need to have a wide range of skills that are at intersection of several STEM-related areas, which poses challenges in identifying and developing technical expertise. In NGMS we are making use from resources across multiple teams, as well as from collaboration with external partners. We are continuously working on widening and diversifying our talent pool and developing it by providing training and support, as well as improving our recruitment process to support this.
