Earth System Models are crucial tools for predicting environmental changes, helping us better prepare for the future. However, these models have extremely high computational demands, limiting their operation at fine enough resolutions. Currently, most models operate at a resolution of approximately 100 kilometers, equivalent to the size of Hawaii, making accurate predictions for specific regions difficult. Nevertheless, for practical applications such as agriculture, water resource planning, and disaster response, city-scale prediction accuracy around 10 kilometers is vital. Therefore, improving the resolution of these models is essential for better protection.
