ask and ye shall receive
wasn't i just bitching about how climate models so far have been lame??? Well today there's some great news out o the UK that scientists from the Hadley Centre (makers of *the best* GCMs to date) have joined forces with a supercomputer team in Yokohama Japan (makers of the Earth Simulator supercomputer) to take their HADCM3 and add HADGEM (a climate model based on marine and terrestrial life's climate interaction) HiGEM (a model that takes the standard GCM grid-scale of 500 sqmi and busts it up into tiny organic pieces) to create....... (drum roll please) "NUGEM"
woo hoo! the Nu Gem is so info-intense, it could only run through Earth Simulator's 5100 processors (i's the size of 4 tennis courts) which do an amazing 36 Teraflops (36 trillion calculations per secons) and they say it's the most accurate climate predictions we've ever had.... I wonder what they will tell us?
