A Geodesic Climate Model with Quasi-Lagrangian Vertical Coordinates

Dr. David Randall of Colorado State University will lead a multi-institutional collaboration of universities and government laboratories in an integrated program of climate science, applied mathematics and computational science to develop the climate model of the future. This project will build upon capabilities climate modeling, advanced mathematical research, and high-end computer architectures to provide useful projections of climate variability and change at regional to global scales.
