Cloud computing has become pervasive across computational domains, including for providing HPC resources to the Weather, Water and Climate community. The cloud offers benefits in cost, ease of use, ease of access, and flexible provisioning, but there are challenges to gaining these benefits and the cloud will not be appropriate for all workloads. This session solicits papers presenting experiences in using HPC in the cloud for Weather, Water and Climate applications as well as analyses addressing suitability of cloud platforms for delivering HPC to Weather, Water and Climate applications. Abstracts are invited that address challenges and lessons learned from the experience, including issues of performance/optimization, availability, scalability, portability, data storage, data transfer and security and are also invited to address tools and techniques for HPC in the cloud. Abstracts are invited from users and providers of HPC in the cloud.
