The SeaReport project aims to advance EC JRC’s global metocean modelling capabilities by integrating and optimizing advanced hydrodynamic frameworks with High Performance Computing (HPC) resources. As climate change exacerbates extreme weather events, accurate predictions of storm surges become ever more crucial for coastal communities. Through EuroHPC, the team will continue enhancing the computational efficiency and scalability of our models, allowing higher resolution and enhanced physics global 3D total water level simulations. The expected outcomes include improved early-warning systems, risk assessments for emergency services and contributions to climate impact studies.
By fostering open-source collaboration, the team aims to democratize access to advanced modelling tools and create a shared platform for the scientific community to tackle collaboratively the ever more pressing environmental challenges.
This proposal acts as a continuation of the Regular access (Proposal ID: EHPC-REG-2024R02-151) the researchers have had on Meluxina (project p200764) since February 2025. Furthermore, the team reached the current ceiling for allocated resources and need twice as many resources to scale our models up.
