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 produce about 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)]] |
