The Centre for Climate Research Singapore (CCRS) is a division of the Meteorological Service Singapore (MSS). At CCRS, our mission is to advance scientific understanding of tropical climate variability and change and its associated weather systems affecting Singapore and the wider Southeast Asia region, so that the knowledge and expertise can benefit decision makers and the community. Our vision is to be a world leading centre in tropical climate and weather research focussing on the Southeast Asia region.
Within CCRS, the High Performance Computing (HPC) Branch is responsible for the technical development, optimisation, implementation and management of CCRS’s software systems running on in-house ‘Utama’ and Singapore National Supercomputing Centre (NSCC) HPC systems. CCRS’s core ‘SINGV’ weather/climate modelling system is a regional, tropical configuration of the Unified Model (UM), used in both weather (Numerical Weather Prediction – NWP) and climate change (regional climate projections) applications. CCRS is also enhancing its rainfall nowcasting capabilities (predicting heavy rainfall in Singapore over the next 30-60 minutes) using machine learning techniques in collaboration with local and international partners. Applications of AI across the weather and climate science domain on large HPCs will be an increasing focus for the HPCB in coming years.
As part of the HPC Branch, the postholder will contribute to the technical development, optimisation, operational implementation, and management of CCRS' core modelling systems running on CCRS in-house and off-premise Linux-based HPC systems.
