We improved the tsunami simulation code JAGURS, which is a paralleled version of URSGA for large-scale, high-speed prediction in Nankai trough, Japan. optimized loop kernel velocity update and intergrid communication on three-dimensional torus network. Linear scaling was achieved up to full system capability K computer (82,944 nodes) strong test that used 100 billion finite-difference grid points. The measured performance 1.2 petaflops (11.5% peak speed). Intergrid three-nested-grid model...

We present high-performance simulations of global seismic wave propagation with an unprecedented accuracy 1.2 s period for a realistic three-dimensional Earth model using the spectral element method on K computer. Our use total 665.2 billion grid points and resolve 1.8 trillion degrees freedom. To realize these large-scale computations, we optimize widely used community software code to efficiently address all hardware parallelization, especially thread-level parallelization solve bottleneck...

To validate the abundance of scenarios large earthquakes in Nankai Trough, we examined effects both lateral and vertical expansions source areas on maximum tsunami heights along Pacific coast Seto Inland Sea. The recently proposed Trough earthquake scenario (Mw = 9) has a slip 20 m near trough axis. However, predicted exceeded those obtained from historical records damage caused by 1707 Hoei event at Tosa Bay coastlines Kii Channel, owing to up-dip extension fault segments off Shikoku...

Future changes in large-scale climatology and perturbation may have different impacts on regional climate change. It is important to understand the of terms both thermodynamic dynamic changes. Although many studies investigated influence climate, significance still debated. The nonlinear effect these two also unknown. We propose a systematic procedure that extracts influences three factors: climatology, resulting effect. then demonstrate usefulness procedure, applying it future...

Regional climate projections inevitably inherit uncertainties from general circulation models (GCMs). We therefore propose a new approach for identifying the dominant uncertainties. This employs downscaling procedure by Adachi et al. to uncertainty problem using multiple GCM projections. The mean state of large‐scale atmospheric states and deviation this are two factors considered here, which provided GCM. These referred as climatology perturbation components, respectively. To demonstrate...

In this study, we provide a perspective on dynamical downscaling that includes comprehensive view of multiple methods and strategy for achieving better assessment future regional climates. A climate simulation is generally driven by large-scale atmospheric state obtained global simulation. We conceptualize the based reconstruction combining decomposed components states, such as climatology perturbation, in different simulations. The conceptualization provides previous studies. propose...

Higher fidelity seafloor topography and crustal structure models have become available with accumulation of observation data. Previous studies shown that the consideration such high-fidelity produces significant effects, in some cases, on deformation results are used as inputs for tsunami analysis. However, it is difficult to apply model computations because large computational costs. In this paper, we propose a new computation method estimating computations, which based finite element...
