- bcb209df-20f6-48e5-9466-4f5d72181714 definition "Responsibilities of the DKRZ: The German Climate Computing Centre (Deutsche Klimarechenzentrum, DKRZ) provides the computer power for quantitative computation of complex climate processes with sophisticated, realistic models. The diversity of the interacting subsystems constituting the system Earth precludes the application of a single all-encompassing model for such investigations. A hierarchy of models adapted to different questions and applications is needed. Moreover, since the wide variety of problems cannot be mastered by any single group of scientists, coordinated research programmes are needed involving the collaboration between many working groups from different research centres. The DKRZ functions as a coordinating node in the national and European network for climate researchers. In the first seven years of its existance, the DKRZ contributed significantly to the successful development of the climate research programme initiated by the German Ministry of Research and Technology (Bundesministerium fuer Forschung und Technologie, BMFT). Today, the computing centre has become an indispensable tool of German climate research. In recent years, the original focus on climate research has been broadened. The impact of climate change on the ecosystem and the interactions between the climate system, the biosphere and human activity are now also being studied within the general framework of the international 'Global Change' programme. International Perspectives: In the past years, a broad-scoped European climate research programme has been developed, and the DKRZ serves today as a computing centre for a large number of European research activities. Since the beginning of 1994, the DKRZ has accepted the task of coordinating the European Climate Computing Network (ECCN), a linkage, within the framework of the European Union's Human Capital and Mobility (HCM) Programme, of the DKRZ with three other climate computing centeres of comparable capacity, the Hadley Climate Research Centre in Bracknel, England and the climate centres Meteo France, Toulouse, and Centre Laplace, Paris. Part of the combined computing capacity of the four ECCN partners is made available for all European climate researchers. Through the ECCN, Europe is able to provide an effective computing capacity for climate research equivalent to that of similar established U.S. centres - the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colorado, and the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) in Princeton. Organisation and Funding: The DKRZ is a limited company with, at present, four shareholders: the Max Planck Society in Munich, the State of Hamburg (represented by the University), the Alfred-Wegener-Institute for Polar and Marine Research in Bremerhaven and the GKSS-Research Centre in Geesthacht. The Federal Ministry for Research and Technology provides for the investments and 39 % of the operating costs, the shareholders providing for the remaining 61 %.
