SEAC4RS in the News A recent edition of RTT News features an article on the upcoming Studies of Emissions, Atmospheric Composition, Clouds and Climate Coupling by Regional Surveys (SEAC4RS) campaign that will investigate how air pollution and natural emissions, which are pushed high into the atmosphere by large storms, affect atmospheric composition and climate. http://www.rttnews.com/2132241/nasa-flights-over-southern-us-target-how-pollution-storms-and-climate-mix.aspx. SEAC4RS is sponsored by the Earth Science Division of NASA's Science Mission Directorate and will be managed by the Earth Science Project Office http://espo.nasa.gov/missions/seac4rs For additional highlights, click here

2012 Summer Short Course for Earth System Modeling and Supercomputing

Eight graduate students from across the country came to NASA Ames this summer to receive training in the use of NASA High Performance Computing resources for running and analyzing Earth system models applied to extremely large datasets (i.e., high spatial and/or temporal resolution climate and biogeochemical models.
