摘　　要：This article introduces“EarthLab”,a major new Earth system numerical simulation facility developed in China.EarthLab is a numerical simulation system for a physical climate system,an environmental system,an ecological system,a solid earth system,and a space weather system as a whole with a high-performance scientific computing platform.EarthLab consists of five key elements-namely:a global earth numerical simulation system,a regional high-precision simulation system,a supercomputing support and management system,a database,data assimilation and visualization system,and a high-performance computing system for earth sciences.EarthLab helps to study the atmosphere,hydrosphere,cryosphere,lithosphere,and biosphere,as well as their interactions,to improve the accuracy of predictions by integrating simulations and observations,and to provide a scientific foundation for major issues such as national disaster prevention and mitigation.The construction and operation of EarthLab will involve close cooperation with joint contributions and shared benefits.
