Advances in modeling – including progress in AI/ML based models and algorithms – as well as trends in High Performance Computing – including technology trends and market forces – present ongoing challenges to providing HPC support to our community. Likewise, these trends present opportunities and new approaches for providing HPC services. This session will feature a panel of Directors and Senior Managers from HPC Centers serving the Weather, Water and Climate community addressing the challenges they face in providing HPC services for research and operations – as well as the opportunities they see for enhancing the services they provide in the future. Each speaker will address the topic in a short presentation, followed by a panel discussion and questions from session attendees. Panelists are anticipated from Government agencies, research institutions, academia, and others. Previous year’s panels have been very informative and generated lively discussion, featuring speakers from NOAA, NASA, NCAR, DOD, ECMWF, and UKMet.
