Can weather shifts topple empires? A new study, powered by the computing and data resources at NSF NCAR's Computational and Information Systems Laboratory (CISL), explores the fascinating connection between historical climate shifts in Southeast Asia and the region’s sociopolitical upheavals. The study distinguishes between climate shifts caused by internal variability (e.g. natural fluctuation...
Have you recently published a paper on research conducted using Derecho or Cheyenne? Then the CISL Communications Staff would like to showcase your work to the wider world. We are seeking recently-published Earth systems science research conducted using CISL’s computing resources. We’d like to spotlight this work for an upcoming series of informative, engaging science news stories to be publis...
On Wednesday, March 12, 2025, from 8:00 to 9:00 am MT, attend a virtual seminar on wind energy, entitled “Two Applications Using Low-Fidelity Models: Digital Twins and Uncertainty Propagation.” In this talk, Emmanuel Branlard, an associate professor of Mechanical Engineering at UMass Amherst, will explore two applications of low-fidelity models: digital twinning and uncertainty propagation. B...
The Data Engineering and Curation Section (DECS) of CISL is in the process of phasing out whole file download, subsetting, and campaign storage access to RDA ERA5 Reanalysis in GRIB format (d633000). If possible, we encourage users to transition to the NetCDF files produced by DECS for the RDA. For more details, including the NetCDF data inventory, please visit the ERA5 Reanalysis dataset websi...
