Investigators

Abstract

0116643 Cayan This Major Research Instrumentation award to University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography will provide support for acquisition of a cluster computer system for use by the new Center for Observations, Modeling, and Prediction at Scripps (COMPAS). Research use of the system will emphasize regional to global scale ocean/atmosphere modeling, fine-scale modeling of coastal and wave processes, process-oriented ocean modeling and ocean state estimation, and graduate education, to which 25% of the computational time will be allocated. The system will be housed at Scripps Institution of Oceanography; technical support and archival storage will be provided by the San Diego Supercomputer Center. UCSD will contribute 30% of the cost of this project from non-federal funds. ***
