Info on different projects at climateprediction.net

[steinfal]

Hello all,

I looking for info on the specific models that climateprediction.net is running. I found some info at Wikipedia, of course, but I would like to get it straight from the project's main site. I would hate to post something from Wikipedia, although it is 99% good stuff (different conversation for a different time.) Does anyone have a link to a page on the climateprediction.net site that explains all of these projects? Thanks much.

Also, any comments, compliments, rips on my website (www.volunteerathome.com) are always welcome. I really want it to be a one-stop shop for Volunteer Computing info, but I only have so much time.

Thanks much.

go back to their site and click on the "Climate Science" link on their site.

If you don't have the time to do it then you should enlist people to be involved in updating your site directly (like wikipedia) otherwise please stop asking us to do your work for you.

Many thanks.

steinfal unfortunately you are "rediscovering the wheel".

Kirk Pearson has been running his Distributed Computing Info site (http://distributedcomputing.info/) for many years and it is about as comprehensive a resource as you can get.

AMDave and vaughan, you guys are so mean! :icon_mrgreen:

Steinfal, to cover the whole Distributed Computing arena of nowadays, you have alooot of work in front of you. :icon_wink:

Vaughan is right, Kirk's site already has a massive compilation of info gathered through many years of non-stop work from several (if not many) people. To get to that level you will have to work hard, do alot of research, and hopefully get some assistance.

But I give you props for the effort! Because you are contributing with your view of the DC world, what it looks like from your perspective and involvement, and having multiple points of view of something is always good.
For example, some people say oranges are acid, while others say oranges are sweet. Two different points of view of the same thing and they're both right. And if you look at them together they characterize the orange better. Oranges are acid indeed, but that doesnt make them bad because they're also sweet. Get the point? :)

Yes, I'm encouraging you, so pull back your sleeves and type type type content for your website like if there was no tomorrow! Expand your view of the DC World! Show the rest of us and the world how you see it. :)


Now, about what you asked, Climate prediction has alot of info on their website, as AMDave pointed out.
I don't know exactly what kind of info on their projects you are looking for, but of the scientific kind (which I don't understand much) they have quite a bit on the "Climate Science" section. Here's a few links from there:

Thermohaline Circulation Experiment

Sulphur Cycle Experiment

HadCM3L Experiment

HadSM3 Mid-Halocene

...and their spinoff project, Seasonal Attribution Experiment (HadAM3)

NeoGen, thanks for the links and the feedback. Thanks to the other two as well, I guess I did invite people to "rip" on my site if they wanted.

I used Kirk's website for many years and it prompted me to start my own becuase I wanted to appeal to a less technical audience. My goal is to spread the word to as many people as possible, no just technical people.

As far as asking you to do my work, I wish you didn't feel that way, I really couldn't find this stuff. Most forums that I have used welcome questions and provide answers. It increases the amount of knowledge contained in the forums. I searched for the answer first, and it wasn't in your forums and now it is.

(As you can see, I can't figure out how to use the quote function.)

'til next time.
