SUMMARY:SC20 Keynote: From Deep Thoughts to (Destination) Earth: Climate S
 cience in the Age of Exascale
DESCRIPTION:Keynote\n\nSC20 Keynote: From Deep Thoughts to (Destination) E
 arth: Climate Science in the Age of Exascale\n\nStevens\n\nSC20 is pleased
  to announce that our Keynote speaker is Professor Bjorn Stevens of the Ma
 x-Planck-Institute for Meteorology. Professor Stevens will discuss how exa
 scale computing is impacting two opportunities that are changing the face 
 of climate science. One arises from what exascale will enable; the other f
 rom what it will not.\n\n“Much like the Large Hadron Collider broke an ene
 rgy barrier to bring us the Higgs boson, exaFLOPS will break a scale barri
 er, bringing about a fundamentally new way of computing the climate system
 ,” commented Stevens. “Computing with exaFLOPS has such profound implicati
 ons for climate modeling and Earth information systems. Beyond exascale, t
 he game changes completely.”\n\nAccording to Stevens, this change is roote
 d in the absence of further attainable critical scales, which shifts the f
 ocus from deep computation to deep interaction. This shift in focus has th
 e potential to unravel mysteries that have remained unexplained up until n
 ow.\n\nProfessor Stevens’ main field of interest is in the way atmospheric
  water; particularly in the form of clouds; shapes climate. His contributi
 ons to understanding how turbulent mixing and cloud-microphysical processe
 s influence cloud amount have been instrumental in helping to understand h
 ow clouds respond to warming, and how radiative forcing responds to aeroso
 l perturbations, both of which are fundamental to the present comprehensio
 n of climate change.\n\nHis measurements have identified new forms of clou
 ds that arise in response to precipitation, provided the first quantificat
 ion of cloud top mixing and illustrated and quantified the vertical struct
 ure of large-scale vertical motion fields in the tropics and sub-tropics.\
