Recent advances in both high performance computing and scientific understanding are dramatically improving Earth system models. The new processes and capabilities that are being added to Earth system models are leading to new discoveries and improved understanding, especially for polar science and polar prediction capabilities. Continued success in advancing polar research and leveraging of high performance computing resources requires engaging and involving early career polar scientists in today's Earth system modeling and supercomputing frontiers. In order to train the next generation scientists in polar research and frontiers in high performance computing, a two-week long Polar Modeling Workshop will take place in August 2018. The workshop will support the attendance of about 15 early career polar scientists. All workshop activities will focus on the Community Earth System Model (CESM) and high performance computing supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) at the NCAR-Wyoming Supercomputing Center (WYSC). Workshop participants will gain experience planning, designing, and executing CESM simulations using the NWSC Supercomputing Resources. In the first week, participants would attend the highly successful and well-established CESM tutorial. In the second week, participants would engage in advanced activities focused specifically on capacity building for conducting polar research using the CESM. This 2-week workshop represents a timely opportunity to empower a new generation of polar scientists to use high performance computing and Earth System Modeling in their research.

高性能计算和科学理解的最新进展正在极大地改善地球系统模型。地球系统模型中添加的新过程和功能正在带来新的发现和加深的理解，特别是在极地科学和极地预测能力方面。推进极地研究和利用高性能计算资源的持续成功需要早期职业极地科学家参与当今的地球系统建模和超级计算前沿领域。为了培训极地研究和高性能计算前沿领域的下一代科学家，将于 2018 年 8 月举办为期两周的极地建模研讨会。该研讨会将支持约 15 名早期职业极地科学家参加。所有研讨会活动将重点关注社区地球系统模型 (CESM) 和由美国国家科学基金会 (NSF) 在 NCAR-怀俄明州超级计算中心 (WYSC) 支持的高性能计算。研讨会参与者将获得使用 NWSC 超级计算资源规划、设计和执行 CESM 模拟的经验。在第一周，参与者将参加非常成功且完善的 CESM 教程。第二周，参与者将参与高级活动，重点关注利用 CESM 进行极地研究的能力建设。这个为期两周的研讨会提供了一个及时的机会，使新一代极地科学家能够在他们的研究中使用高性能计算和地球系统建模。
