Chinese researchers have unveiled the world’s most advanced ocean simulation system with a resolution of 1km (0.6 mile) – an unprecedented benchmark.
The simulation system, named LICOMK++ and developed by teams from the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Atmospheric Physics and Computer Network Information Centre, has broken computational barriers to deliver unparalleled precision in modelling global ocean dynamics and climate patterns.
The innovation underscores China’s push to overcome high-performance computing challenges and achieve self-reliance in critical technologies amid strict Western technology embargoes.
It aims to advance global climate research and empower agencies to refine disaster response strategies and coastal resilience planning, offering a lifeline as climate-related economic losses mount worldwide.
