- 10.09.24 - GMAO Content Featured in New NASA EIC Exhibit at Smithsonian's Museum of Natural History
- NASA has teamed up with the Smithsonian to launch a new Earth Information Center exhibit at the Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C. Hyperwall dashboards feature a number of Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO) datasets, including greenhouse gas concentrations, air quality, and weather conditions, computed at the NASA Center for Climate Simulation.
- 09.26.24 - NCCS-Hosted Simulations Enable Exploring Prospects of Detecting Volcanic Signatures on ExoEarths
- The NASA Center for Climate Simulation (NCCS) enabled University of California, Riverside, and NASA Goddard Space Flight Center scientists to simulate how large igneous province volcanic eruptions — some of the most massive in Earth’s history — affect the planet’s climate and atmospheric chemistry. The simulation data then served to define the atmosphere of a hypothetical rocky Earth-like exoplanet (or exoEarth) for exploring the possibility of detecting volcanic signatures with future space telescopes.
- 09.25.24 - GMAO Science Snapshots Explore Dust to Ocean Life
- Enabled by the NASA Center for Climate Simulation (NCCS), NASA’s Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO) advanced understanding of Saharan dust transport, record global air temperatures, and Chlorophyll-A in the oceans.
- 08.28.24 - CISTO Summer 2024 Interns Take on AI and Other Challenges at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center
- NASA’s “Summer of AI” (Artificial Intelligence) — a season-long learning campaign — “aims to enhance our workforce’s ability to harness the technical and cultural potential of AI.” Summer interns are no exception, with a record 17 interns growing their knowledge and agency capabilities by tackling AI and other technological challenges across the Computational and Information Sciences and Technology Office (CISTO) at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center.
- 08.20.24 - NAS Supports Unitary Plan Wind Tunnel, ‘Red Rover’ Team
- Earlier this year, the NASA Advanced Supercomputing (NAS) Division’s Research & Development team, in collaboration with the Unitary Plan Wind Tunnel team at NASA’s Ames Research Center, successfully performed initial tests of the Unsteady Pressure Sensitive Paint application for a project called Red Rover—reminiscent of the classic children’s game. .
- 08.06.24 - GEOS-Exp 2km Highlights Severe Weather Outbreak, Selected for 2024 HWT Forecast Experiment
- The NASA Global Modeling and Assimilation Office's experimental 2-kilometer version of the Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS) model was part of NOAA's 2024 Hazardous Weather Testbed, showcasing the most cutting-edge numerical weather prediction models during the busiest convective weather month. The GEOS model ran on the Discover supercomputer at the NASA Center for Climate Simulation (NCCS).
