Combining observations from the MODIS instruments onboard NASA's Terra and Aqua satellites with the GEOS-5/GOCART atmosphere model reveals fire's global reach.
Scientists use simulations to investigate what kind of "flash" might be seen by telescopes when astronomers ultimately find gravitational signals from merging black holes.
A NASA Goddard climate model called GEOS-5 revisited the extraordinary 2005 Atlantic hurricane season as part of a gigantic two-year simulation run on Goddard’s Discover supercomputer.
NASA's data contributions to the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5), as well as reanalysis and observational data, are now available on the NCCS Earth System Grid Federation Gateway.
NASA models and supercomputing have created a colorful new view of aerosol movement. The simulation took several weeks to process on a NASA Center for Climate Simulation supercomputer.
NASA researchers will present new findings on a wide range of Earth and space science topics at the 2011 fall meeting of the American Geophysical Union.
NASA Earth and space simulations are getting a boost from graphics processing units (GPUs), with early results on laboratory and NASA Center for Climate Simulation GPU systems demonstrating potential for significant speedups.
This month, the NASA Center for Climate Simulation (NCCS) made available to users the newest unit of its "Discover" supercomputer. The 14,400-processor Dell PowerEdge C6100 server doubles Discover's computational power.
