UKESM-fast

UKESM-hybrid could be made faster by including elements from the UKESM-fast project

  • UKESM-fast will aim to create a much faster version of UKESM1 by
    • Increasing timestep, maybe 20 mins -> 45mins/1hr
    • Reducing vertical levels, maybe 85 -> 38
    • Reducing frequency of full chemistry, maybe 1hr -> 2/3 hrs
    • ... and there's more
  • Work on UKESM-fast will follow when UKESM1-hybrid is largely completed
