LATEST NEWS
- 06.09.09 - Transportation Pollution and Global Warming
- Controlling pollution from transportation sources would greatly reduce black carbon and ozone emissions, which affect both climate and also human health. The study included global climate model simulations run at NCCS.
- 05.25.09 - Particles Multi-Task to Change Climate
- Tiny particulate matter in the atmosphere can both warm and cool the climate. Global climate model experiments run on the NCCS Discover supercomputer seek to answer: Which effect is dominant, and will the balance change as the atmosphere warms due to greenhouse gases?
- 05.20.09 - HEC Wide-Area Networking Transitioning to NISN May 27, 2009
- NASA-internal wide-area networking services for the High-End Computing (HEC) Program are transitioning to the NASA Integrated Services Network (NISN). HEC's new NISN services include a direct 10 gigabit-per-second network pathway between its two facilities.
- 05.19.09 - Discover Plays Important Role in Recent Shuttle Mission
- Computations performed by NASA Goddard Space Flight Center engineers on the NCCS Discover cluster played an important role in the recent shuttle mission.
- 05.18.09 - The Ozone Hole and Global Warming
- A new study led by the Goddard Institute for Space Studies examines possible connections between reduced Southern Hemisphere ozone and Northern Hemisphere Arctic warming.
