From the Scalability Programme to Destination Earth
Bauer, Peter ; Quintino, Tiago ; Wedi, Nils
This article recalls the origins of ECMWF's Scalability Programme eight years ago and how it helped to prepare ECMWF for the EU-funded Destination Earth initiative, which emerged through a considerable effort from some of the leading scientists in the field of weather and climate prediction and computational science. The Scalability Programme was designed to adapt weather prediction codes to emerging computing paradigms, and Destination Earth is an initiative to develop a highly accurate digital twin of our planet. Both initiatives illustrate how fruitful international collaboration can be, but they also highlight the challenges for devising and implementing large and ambitious programmes supporting the digital revolution of Earth system science. </p>
