DKRZ currently archives about 30 Petabytes (30,000 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 254 Petabytes of climate model results.
