HPE builds new supercomputer to strengthen weather services for Europe

[Nabanita1]

In one of our previous blogs, we discussed how Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) helped Eni upgrade its HPC4 supercomputer, to accelerate discovery of new energy sources. This time around, HPE has planned to build a new supercomputer for the United Weather Centres – West (UWC-West), a collaboration between the Danish Meteorological Institute, Icelandic Met Office, Met Éireann, Ireland’s national weather service, and the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute to advance weather forecasting for the four nations.

Then new supercomputer will not only help in improving weather modeling to generate more detailed forecast updates, but will also enable research into extreme weather events, such as heatwaves, heavy rain, flooding, and snowstorms.

According to Bill Mannel, vice president and general manager, HPC, at HPE, “As European nations continue to face challenges with new, dynamic weather patterns caused by climate change, weather forecasters will need powerful high-performance computing (HPC) capabilities to evolve weather models and simulate vast amounts of complex data to unlock accurate, real-time forecasts".

"We are pleased to see Denmark, Iceland, Ireland and The Netherlands take action and join forces in the United Weather Centres- West (UWC –West) to strengthen weather services in Europe. We are honored to have been selected to design their new supercomputer, using end-to-end HPC technologies, and support their multi-national mission for advancing weather forecasting", he further added.
