Abstract

The primary mission of the Earth Simulator is to comprehend the mechanisms of the ever-changing Earth's environment and to make its reliable prediction. The unexpectedly good performance of the Earth Simulator, however, can not only make a quantitative contribution to elevating the resolution and accuracy of simulations, but can also provide us with an excellent tool that enables us to resolve an entangled, complex system as it stands. This latter aspect leads us to develop "holistic" approach that can reveal the way the entangled whole system works.
