Abstract
High-resolution coupled atmosphere-ocean models are necessary in order to obtain reliable information about the influence and impact of global warming. A high-end computing infrastructure is indispensable to run such models and from 1998 to 2002 the Earth Simulator with a computational speed of 40 TFLOPS was developed in Japan.
