EAGLES: Enabling Aerosol-cloud interactions at GLobal convection-permitting scalES

This new project seeks to increase confidence in—and understanding of—the role of aerosols

aerosols

Small particles or droplets, such as wildfire smoke, volcanic gases, or salty sea spray, that float in the air. They are emitted by both natural events and human activities.

and aerosol-cloud interactions

aerosol-cloud interaction

The interaction of airborne particles (aerosols) with clouds. Scientists study how aerosols affect clouds and how these interactions can impact the Earth's climate.

in the evolution of the Earth system. The EAGLES project team uses new modeling techniques that are scientifically robust and computationally efficient for global simulations designed for the DOE’s Energy Exascale Earth System Model.

Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM)

The Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM) project includes Earth System Models, simulations, and predictions to investigate energy-relevant science using code optimized for DOE's advanced supercomputers.
