DKRZ currently archives more than 20 Petabytes (20,000 Terabytes) of new model data per year, resulting from the climate simulations on its supercomputer. For the future, we expect an increase in the amount of data to be archived. Currently, the archive comprises more than 160 Petabytes of climate model results.
