中文摘要：

应用消息传递接口函数库（MPI）并行程序设计技术开发了中尺度暴雨数值预报模式AREM（Advanced Regional Eta-coordinate Model）的并行版本，并在3种计算机系统平台下进行了加速比测试，结果显示出较高的并行效率和较好的可扩展性。建立并行版本后，模式高分辨率版本能够满足时效性要求。通过采用并行模式的高低分辨率版本对一个暴雨个例进行模拟表明，高分辨并行版本的模拟结果与观测更为接近，并具有较好的预报时效性。

英文摘要：

Based on the Message Passing Interface （MPI） technique, a parallel version of the Advanced RegionalEta-coordinate Model （AREM） has been developed. Tests with the parallel speedup on this version on three tunas of computer systems show its high parallel performance and good scalability. Simulations of a rainstorm case using the parallel version of AREM with different horizontal resolutions indicate that the precipitation from the high-resolution version is closer to the observation than that from the low-resolution version. The parallel version of AREM can finish a 24-h prediction in a reasonable time.
