Determining the carbon footprint of a simulation is not an easy task as it depends on several factors. However to provide a rough estimate we may consider that 100 years of climate simulation with IPSL-CM6A-LR requires 150 000 core-hours and produceabout 150 kg CO2eq. Multiplied by the number of simulations performed this constitutes a non-negligible fraction of the IPSL carbon footprint. This is why we should collectively aim to reduce the environmental footprint of climate modeling. , 600px)]]5 [[NoteBox(note, Running simulations has a significant environmental impact both in terms of computing and mass storage.
