NCCS Supercomputer’s Newest Unit Hosts NASA Weather Forecast...
The newest and most powerful addition to the NASA Center for Climate Simulation (NCCS) Discover supercomputer—Scalable Compute Unit 14 (SCU14)—has been hosting 40-day simulations testing an updated
NCCS Systems Empower Boreal Forest Study Using Airborne and...
Just south of the Arctic Circle are vast boreal forests made up of primarily conifers (e.g., spruce, fir, and larch), forming a ring around Earth. Along with the Arctic region, boreal forests are experiencing climate change at a faster rate than anywhere
NCCS Hosts GISS ModelE Simulations Assessing the Impacts of...
As agriculture intensified globally during the 20th century, irrigation rates increased across many regions. The increase in irrigation has been especially rapid since the 1950s with extraction of groundwater resources becoming a common practice.
Scientists Simulate Pluto–Charon Satellite System on NCCS Di...
Unique in our solar system, Pluto and its largest moon Charon (nearly half Pluto’s size) orbit around a common center of gravity. Four known smaller moons, or satellites, orbit around these two dwarf planets in what scientists call a circumbinary satellit
NCCS Computing Capabilities Enable Calculating a Multi-Rean...
Reanalysis is a comprehensive record of how weather and climate are changing over time. Objectively combining up to one billion or more observations with a computer model of the atmosphere generates a synthesized estimate of the Earth’s climate system.
