Abstract

The Cloud Resolving Storm Simulator (CReSS) model is a nonhydrostatic and compressible equation model designed to simulate high-impact weather systems at high resolution to resolve individual convective clouds. CReSS began to develop from scratch in 1998 and has been optimized for massively parallel computers. The objectives of the CReSS are tropical cyclones, mesoscale convective systems, heavy rainfall, tornadoes, mid-latitude cyclones, and winter snowstorms. CReSS is used for numerical experiments and real weather forecasts. The source code of CReSS is available for scientific and commercial use, and CReSS has been used in many countries for many purposes. This chapter describes the fundamental formulations and technical characteristics of CReSS, as well as its scientific applications in many high-impact weather systems.
