Supercomputers will be used to support the studies in the field of environmental atmospheric sciences.
PKNU Supercomputer Center which executive director is O Jae Ho who is a professor of department of environmental atmospheric sciences was selected as the center of PLSI (Partnership and Leadership for the nationwide Supercomputer Infrastructure) in the field of environmental atmospheric sciences in 2011. This center will research a local early warning system using the supercomputers in case of the abnormal atmospheric phenomena like a typhoon, a cloudburst, and a heavy snow. In addition, this center will make an exchange with Korea Water Resources Corporation, Busan Regional Meteorological Administration, and APEC Climate Center about weather and climate information to lead to development in the field of environmental atmospheric sciences. Moreover, this center is going to set up a cooperative system to work with 22 major institutes in Korea including Seoul National University Center for Agro Meteorology in the field of environmental atmospheric sciences. Also, it will promote the exchange of the education and the information in this field. PLSI is a business to help KISTI (Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information) to use supercomputers at the national level efficiently. KISTI is going to play a major role to build service network focusing on the specialized field by using supercomputers. Besides, it will help many local corporations to bring about a variety of the innovations by supporting the technical developments. Meanwhile, PKNU Supercomputer Center has played an important role as the stronghold in the field of environmental atmospheric sciences. For example, it has tried to make an exchange of the studies with Germany Meteorological Administration, Saga University in Japan, and so on using the high speed - about 10 Gbps - research and development network. <Pukyong Today> <translator; Park Ha Won, dhzl0121@naver.com> |
