The Earth Sciences department of the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC-ES) is one of
the most active groups in research and operational modelling of air quality and atmospheric composition,
climate prediction and climate services in Europe. It currently consists of five research groups and about 180 researchers and research engineers, including also support staff.

Being such a large department with different profiles working on different research topics implies running a variety of workflows for many different purposes, such as executing weather and climate simulations, downloading data or evaluating model performance. This means having to deal with many different processes and time scales in different environments and machines.

%The Models and Workflows Team (MWT) from the Computational Earth Sciences (CES) group is in charge of the development and maintenance of most of the workflows and the tools to manage them,  creating synergies with the other teams and scientific groups.
