In keeping with the SC spirit of HPC matters, we wanted to share another amazing example of supercomputing in action. Last week, NASA officials released the first ever ultra-high-resolution computer model of global atmospheric carbon dioxide. The simulation, which can be seen below, depicts the puffs and swirls of carbon dioxide as it circumnavigates the globe. While we wrote about the hardware that enabled the project previously, the simulation and resultant visualization merit further attention. Solid data for ground-level carbon dioxide measurements goes back decades, but it was only in July that NASA began tracking global space-based carbon levels, thanks to the Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2) satellite, the first NASA satellite mission to provide a global view of carbon dioxide. The new computer model, called GEOS-5, was created by scientists at NASA Goddard’s Global Modeling and Assimilation Office.
