Re: GFDL super computer?

Re: limited performance -- to some degree yes, but to some degree no. We still have a lot of knowledge-based and data-based improvements to get at before significant improvements are going to come from improved computer power alone, IMO. Data ingestion, however, is one area where more computer power would help, mostly to allow for time-varying data to be ingested into the models.
