09.13.19 - Scientists Simulate Ancient Lunar Atmosphere at NCCS: Using NASA Center for Climate Simulation (NCCS) computing resources, NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), Columbia University, University of Colorado, and NASA Langley Research Center scientists simulated an ancient lunar atmosphere that could have brought substantial amounts of water to the Moon’s poles.

09.05.19 - A Devastating Stall by Hurricane Dorian: As shown by satellite and model data, a remarkable slowdown led to a prolonged lashing from winds, waves, and rain that devastated Grand Bahama Island. Data sources include NASA's GEOS-5 model running at the NCCS.

08.23.19 – Hacking ICESat-2: How an Open Science Workshop Helped Scientists Wrangle Big Data

Planned for a year by 20 scientists from organizations including NASA Goddard, the University of Washington (UW), and the National Snow and Ice Data Center, the ICESat-2 Hackweek took place at UW in Seattle June 17–21, 2019. The event resulted in more scientists being interested in, and better able to take advantage of, ADAPT science cloud resources from the NCCS.

08.22.19 - New Modular Facility Opens at NASA's Ames Research Center

The energy-efficient facility houses NASA’s newest supercomputer, named Aitken, to help solve the agency’s most challenging science and engineering problems.

08.20.19 - GMAO Science Snapshot: Historic Greenland Ice Melt Event Follows European Heatwave: The NASA Goddard Earth Observing System Forward Processing (GEOS-FP) system, which runs at the NASA Center for Climate Simulation (NCCS), captured the formation of a massive high-pressure dome over much of Europe and the advection of desert air from Northern Africa starting on July 22, 2019. GEOS=FP is an effort of the Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO).

08.19.19 – NASA Invites Media to the Grand Opening of Modular Supercomputing Facility: NASA’s Ames Research Center in Silicon Valley invites members of the media to engage with NASA researchers and computer experts to learn more about the future of high-performance computing at the agency during the grand opening of its new modular supercomputing facility.
