How quickly does the Earth warm up and what it will mean for the planet ? To answer these questions, researchers have spent decades building increasingly sophisticated ones global climate models – however, these models strain the limits of available computing power. Now a group of scientists is pushing for an ambitious solution: a network of next-generation modeling centers called Earth Visualization Engines (EVE), where hundreds of scientists would use the latest supercomputers to run ultra-high-resolution climate models. scale. Such models are starting to appear online, and many researchers think they could significantly improve climate forecasts. (Jeff Tollefson, nature)
