CLIMATE -- Advancing modeling . . .
A committee formed by the National Academy of Sciences and the National Research Council has released a report, http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=13430, of recommendations to accelerate climate modeling to learn more about climate's regional ramifications and future effects. Suggestions include adopting a common software infrastructure to make modeling more efficient. Oak Ridge National Laboratory's James Hack was a member of the 15-person committee. He was chosen because he is a former climate model developer, head of the Oak Ridge Climate Change Science Institute and director of the ORNL National Center for Computational Sciences, which houses the Titan supercomputer.
