Coding the atmosphere: The quest for nimble software
Given the complexities of Earth's atmosphere and the demands of high-performance computing, there are powerful incentives to make our weather, climate, and other computer models as agile and efficient as possible. NCAR is experimenting with novel ways to improve the software that drives so much of modern atmospheric and Earth system research. more >
