Do you think you might have the solution to global warming? You will soon be able to test your hypothesis using state-of-the-art climate models on the web. The climate modeling tool was announced on Wednesday at the annual TeraGrid users' meeting in Madison, Wisconsin this past Wednesday. It uses the Community Climate System Model (CCSM) running on the TeraGrid (on an IBM DataStar at the San Diego Supercomputing Center) to compute, and a Condor pool (a set of heterogeneous, distributed computers from which compute time is borrowed) at Purdue for post-processing.
This is not the first, but to me it is by far the coolest looking web portal for scientific applications. GridChem is a big web portal for computational chemistry applications, and there's also a portal for neutron science, but I'm not sure of the name or status of it.
Anyhow, for more information, here's Purdue's press release.
